On March 1st, Tokyo Kantei published the results of its survey on the trend of average market prices for second hand condos between July and December of 2023 for the Greater Tokyo Area (GTA).
The GTA consists of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba and Saitama prefectures.
The survey targeted properties that are within 10 years of age (plus or minus 5 years), within a 15-minute walk from the nearest station, and have either more than three cases of existing transactions or more than 2% of the total number of units in a building.
The average market price per tsubo in the GTA for second hand condos was reported as ¥3,346,000, a 1.0% increase from the previous term, marking the 22nd consecutive half year term of increase.
1 tsubo equals 3.3058 square meters
However, the slower rising trend from 2022 has intensified. In the 23 wards of Tokyo, the average price per tsubo rose to ¥4,087,000, a 0.9% increase, but the rate of increase fell below 1% for the first time in 14 half year terms.
Broken down by GTA prefectures:
Prefecture | Avg. price per tsubo | Change from 1st half of 2023 |
Tokyo | ¥3,879,000 | 0.8% up |
Kanagawa | ¥2,538,000 | 1.5% up |
Chiba | ¥2,111,000 | 5.9% up |
Saitama | ¥2,111,000 | 0.7% down |
In Saitama Prefecture, despite an increase rate of more than 6% since 2021, the average price was ¥2,111,000 (a 0.7% decrease), marking the first negative turn in six terms.
