I remember just a few yrs ago, Shu started this channel w/ a negative view toward Japanese real estate, glad you changed your mind and now an audience get to "check out" all the positives...Re Fukuoka, would be nice to see some props w/ seaside/ocean & mountain views (3 levels?) but still close enough to CBD/Subway Station...I always envisioned there would be some Malibu like props in Fukuoka sitting neatly on a hill overlooking a vast expanse of ocean/mountains......

In Japan, there's a concept called the new construction premium. <br>This means that when you purchase a new home, the moment you receive the keys and step through the front door, you lose roughly 20% of the property's value. <br>In other words, for a 50 million yen new home, that would mean a 10 million yen loss. <br>This is because Japan has a strong belief in new construction, and the value of a home drops the moment it enters the "used" category. <br>From there, the assessed value of a home continues to fall year by year, and after 30 years, the home's asset value is almost zero (the land still has asset value, so real estate is never sold for free). <br>This means that when buying a home in Japan, it's recommended to buy one that's around 30 years old, as it offers the best cost performance.

My top preference was the #3 bungalow, which has an air filter while my second choice was the #2 house, which has a dark green color.

One needs to also consider medical needs. Closest hospital and medical care etc. I am 74 ad on dialysis so I won't ever be able to travel to Japan but one can dream. Thanks for doing this!

My fav is huse three the bungalo. Learnt a lot about the air filter and heating system. opening the loft to let hot air dissipates is smart. I love 1F houses but 55K isn't for every one
