How much does it cost to buy a house in Japan?

The price of a house in Japan depends on the location, environment and size of the house. For Tokyo, Japan, the average price of the house is about 35, yuan, which is cheaper in remote places and more expensive near the downtown area.

Buying a house depends on the following:

1. Location

First of all, location is important, as Li Ka-shing also said. Which is better than the suburbs? If you live in your own home, it will be fine, and the supporting transportation is convenient, but the housing price in the urban area is expensive, so it depends on how much money you have. If the economic conditions are not enough, consider suburban real estate.

2. Follow the plan

Why do you also buy a house in the suburbs? Some people have lost their houses and changed hands to make a profit. Some people have been waiting for several years but nothing has happened. Buying a house follows the planning, which is also a suburb, where the government focuses on building and where it has been newly opened. These are all things that everyone must pay attention to. This often means that there is room for real estate. For some people, this is very important. Don't always buy real estate that others have already been expensive and have not risen.

3. Ordinary residence or

ordinary property right has 7 years, generally only 4 years, but it is an advantage if it is not enough. It depends on personal needs.

4, transportation facilities

The transportation facilities around the specific property, if you buy a house, it takes two people to go to work every day and buy a dish for a half, then why do you buy it? Transportation and matching are very important, which is related to the living experience. Also pay attention to how the community environment is, whether there are pollution sources, etc.

5. Facing

On the house, it is better to have square corners, and it is better to face south and southeast for ventilation and lighting.

When buying a house in Japan, be careful to be locked up:

1. Taxes and fees are "lifelong"

Compared with China's first tier cities, Japanese housing prices are competitive. The Ebisu area in Tokyo belongs to the first-class area, and a three-story building with land costs only 76.8 million yen (about 4 million yuan).

The second-hand houses and small apartments in downtown Tokyo only cost 2 million yen (about 1.4 million yuan). Chitose City in Hokkaido even developed a single-family villa for China people with a price of 2 million yen/set, which was sold out before it was completed.

however, unlike China real estate, which is bought once and for all, in Japan, in addition to selling and transferring land, houses and other fixed assets, 4% of transaction tax (3% for self-occupied houses), stamp duty, income tax and resident tax should be paid in one lump sum, and the "fixed assets tax" should be paid at 1.4% of the market value every year for the occupied land and real estate.

In addition, it is difficult for foreigners to enjoy Japanese preferential policies such as loans and tax cuts for local people to buy their own houses.

for those who want to leave Japanese real estate to their children and grandchildren, the one-time payment of real estate inheritance tax is also big: the inheritance tax rate of real estate below 1 million yen is 1%, below 3 million yen is 15%, below 5 million yen is 2%, between 1 million and 2 million yen is 4%, between 2 million and 3 million yen is 45%, between 3 million and 6 million yen is 5%, and above 6 million yen.

2. It is difficult to maintain and appreciate the value

It is also difficult to maintain and appreciate the value when buying a house in Japan. The depreciation rate of Japanese houses is high, especially the wooden single-family houses. However, due to the existence of various taxes and fees, coupled with objective maintenance and management fees, the profit of buying a house and renting it is not optimistic. Chinese once spent 45 million yen to buy real estate in Japan, but eventually lost more than 4 million yen.

In addition, the purchase of Japanese real estate must be investigated on the spot, otherwise you will often suffer a big loss. Even in Tokyo, even if the location is adjacent, the living environment may be completely different. In some extreme places, the land price difference even exceeds 2 times.

3. There are many additional risks

There are frequent earthquakes in Japan, and real estate faces risks such as earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. Therefore, when buying a house in Japan, you should buy earthquake insurance and carefully consider the compensation ceiling.

incidental risks such as whether the building is legal also need to be considered. On November 17th, 25, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced that Hidetsugu, a first-class architect in Chiba Prefecture, had forged seismic data about buildings, which led to the demolition of all the buildings he designed. If you buy such real estate, you can only swallow it yourself.

In recent years, China people's buying houses and land in Japan has also aroused opposition from local residents, and some extremists even think that this is an invasion of Japan. Therefore, it is also worth noting whether the large-scale real estate projects purchased by China people will become the targets of harassment by conservative citizen groups.
