For Owners Living Abroad

Your Home in Tokyo, Looked After While You’re Away.

Owning a home in Tokyo should not mean flying back for every repair, lease renewal or notice from the building.

For selected properties, we can simply rent the home from you ourselves. You receive an agreed rent, including through ordinary gaps between tenants, while we sublet it and take care of the day-to-day in Japan as your tenant, not as a management company you have to oversee. Terms depend on the property and what we agree.

Tokyo Condominium Market Report — August 2026

Greater Tokyo · Available Inventory
44.0K 47.0K Jan '25 Nov '25 · 43,156 Aug ’26 · 48,235

Drifted down through most of 2025, bottomed in November, then rose every month since — a fresh 20-month high in August.

Prices Hold Near Record Highs as Inventory Builds

  • Price / sqm¥816K-3.8% YoY
  • Inventory48,235+8.2% YoY
  • Transactions3,180-10.5% YoY

Closing prices, transactions and inventory across Greater Tokyo, tracked monthly and broken down by area — the notable shift this month is a widening gap between what listings ask and what is actually closing.

Wider choice, and prime locations still tightly supplied — a point to start getting ready. For sellers and buyers alike, this is a market that calls for a clear understanding of current market prices, and the judgement and skill to buy or sell at a fair price.
