What does 86 days mean for Osaka mixed-use negotiations?

I’ve checked mixed-use listings between ¥63,040,000 and ¥94,550,000, and many appear to have been marketed for about 86 days. What I cannot tell is whether that reflects negotiable sellers, stale stock that will be withdrawn, or buildings whose condition limits demand.

Has anyone seen recent completed deals showing the original ask, any reductions and the sale price? Neighbourhood, condition and the seller’s apparent urgency would make the comparison much more useful.

Eighty-six days alone cannot show that buyers have gained leverage. Withdrawn and relisted stock can distort the picture, while a sale after one early price cut is different from 86 days at an unchanged ask. I would compare the original ask, timing of each cut, final completed price, and whether the property disappeared before returning.

How narrowly are you defining Osaka and “mixed-use”? Neighbourhood boundaries, tenant status and building condition could make that range look like one market when it is several. Also, by a clear property-tax position, do you mean the stated ongoing amount, treatment of the mixed uses, or uncertainty over liabilities? That detail may explain more than days on market.

The 86-day figure matters only when you know why the seller is still waiting. An owner with no deadline may hold firm, whereas one facing financing pressure could entertain a conditional offer after an inspection. For example, visible repair needs might justify offering less subject to contractor estimates rather than assuming every older listing deserves the same discount.

I’d separate completed, withdrawn and relisted properties, then compare them within the same neighbourhood and condition bracket. That should show whether buyers have leverage or only a few sellers are motivated.
