◆ Residential Land Trends
Housing demand remains strong due to the ongoing low-interest-rate environment, and land prices have continued to rise. In particular, the momentum of land price increases has been especially notable in the centers of major metropolitan areas. In popular tourist destinations, demand for housing from immigrants, in addition to apartments and vacation homes, has also been increasing, and there are still areas where land prices are rising significantly.
◆ Commercial Land Trends
In city centers, commercial land prices have also shown a significant increase due to ongoing competition with demand for apartment development.
In areas where redevelopment projects are underway, the convenience and regional revitalization are expected to drive further growth, and the trend of rising land prices is projected to continue.
Additionally, especially notable increases in land prices have been observed in tourist destinations where the number of foreign and domestic tourists is recovering.
