Real estate in Japan The real estate industry is an important pillar of the Japanese economy and ranked as the third-largest industry in Japan in terms of value added in 2022. Despite this, the number of unoccupied dwellings in Japan has been steadily increasing for over thirty years. Many unoccupied homes are empty and abandoned. This trend can be attributed to two primary factors: the aging of the population and the challenges faced by empty house owners in managing and utilizing properties, as most of these homes are either managed by older individuals or family inheritance. Housing in Tokyo The monthly residential property price index in Tokyo Prefecture has experienced a significant upward trend in the past years. Tokyo holds the largest population in Japan, with approximately 14 million inhabitants, making it the world’s largest urban agglomeration.

The average price of detached and duplex houses in the biggest cities in Germany varied between approximately 4,500 euros and 10,000 euros per square meter in 2024. Housing was most expensive in Munich, where the square meter price of houses amounted to 9,806 euros. Conversely, Berlin was most affordable, with the square meter price at 4,512 euros. How have German house prices evolved? House prices maintained an upward trend for more than a decade, with 2020 and 2021 experiencing exceptionally high growth rates. In 2021, the nominal year-on-year change exceeded 10 percent. Nevertheless, the second half of 2022 saw the market slowing, with the annual percentage change turning negative for the first time in 12 years. Another way to examine the price growth is through the house price index, which uses 2015 as a base. At its peak in 2022, the German house price index measured about 166 percent, which means that a house bought in 2015 would have appreciated by 66 percent. Is housing affordable in Germany? Housing affordability depends greatly on income: High-income areas often tend to have more expensive housing, which does not necessarily make them unaffordable. The house price to income index measures the development of the cost of housing relative to income. In the first quarter of 2024, the index value stood at 110, meaning that since 2015, house price growth has outpaced income growth by about 10 percent. Compared with the average for the euro area, this value was lower.

The average transaction price of new housing in Europe was the highest in Norway, whereas existing homes were the most expensive in Austria. Since there is no central body that collects and tracks transaction activity or house prices across the whole continent or the European Union, not all countries are included. To compile the ranking, the source weighed the transaction prices of residential properties in the most important cities in each country based on data from their national offices. For example, in Germany, the cities included were Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Berlin. House prices have been soaring, with Sweden topping the ranking Considering the RHPI of houses in Europe (the price index in real terms, which measures price changes of single-family properties adjusted for the impact of inflation), however, the picture changes. Sweden, Luxembourg and Norway top this ranking, meaning residential property prices have surged the most in these countries. Real values were calculated using the so-called Personal Consumption Expenditure Deflator (PCE), This PCE uses both consumer prices as well as consumer expenditures, like medical and health care expenses paid by employers. It is meant to show how expensive housing is compared to the way of living in a country. Home ownership highest in Eastern Europe The home ownership rate in Europe varied from country to country. In 2020, roughly half of all homes in Germany were owner-occupied whereas home ownership was at nearly 97 percent in Romania or around 90 percent in Slovakia and Lithuania.
