Insurance and property tax deserve actual quotes rather than percentage estimates, especially for a coastal property. I’d also stress-test a longer vacancy between tenants: a 5-bed home may have a narrower tenant pool than a typical Tokyo apartment, and turnover can bring repairs as well as lost...

You have already considered payments at 5.57% and the possibility of refinancing; what remains unclear is how the purchase performs if you must move sooner than expected. A loan can remain affordable while the property is slow or costly to resell. I would separate the decision into two stages...

One addition to my suggested table: record withdrawals separately rather than treating them as unsuccessful sales. A seller may withdraw because there is no urgency, then return later at a different price. If withdrawals are rising while completed sales remain steady, that points more toward a...

Condition should not be treated as a minor adjustment here. Two apartments at similar prices can present very different future costs once the building’s reserves and the unit’s own condition are considered. I’d make a simple table for each listing: neighbourhood, condition, reserves, first...

That order makes sense. I’d add one practical step: inspect the completed comparable externally and map its walking route to transport, shops and any noise sources against this villa. “Same district” can hide a meaningful micro-location difference. For condition, take photos and notes room by...

One thing I should have asked: is the one-night deadline actually imposed by the seller, or is it pressure you are putting on yourselves? Also ask the agent what matters beyond price—speed, certainty or a particular completion date. Eighty-two days suggests the seller has had time to test the...

Twelve percent is aggressive, but not insulting if you present it as the price that works for you rather than a verdict on the apartment. Keep the rationale short: limited completed evidence, updating required, and strong practical terms. The seller can counter. I would not waive protections...

Eleven days is too early to label a withdrawal as failed stock. The owner may have changed plans, while another home could remain advertised because it is overpriced or needs work. Record each property as completed, reduced or withdrawn, then add its occupancy and condition. That shifts the...

I would not start by dividing the sample into vacant and occupied homes, tempting though that is. At ¥176,300,000 to ¥264,400,000, neighbourhood, condition and financing eligibility may produce bigger differences between buyer pools. First define a narrow area and check whether the 11-day...
