Quarterly Report for Premium Condominiums in Tokyo | 3Q FY 2021

【Chart 1】



This graph indicates the trends in average contract price per tsubo (*Tsubo is Japanese traditional way of measurement: approx.3.31sqm, and the prices above are index-based) and number of contracts concluded in 7 prestigious areas of Central Tokyo. Major economic events and Nikkei Stock Average are also provided for an objective comparison. The bar graph shows the number of contracts concluded. The red-line shows the average contract price per tsubo, while the gray-line shows the Nikkei stock average.

In the 3rd quarter reviewed here (Oct 1 - Dec 31, 2021 based on Japanese fiscal year), the average contract price per tsubo recorded its highest figures since the beginning of data collection in 2006. Because the average contract price per tsubo in the 1st quarter (Apr 1 - Jun 30, 2021) and the 2nd quarter (Jul 1 - Sep 30, 2021) broke its previous highest record, we set new highs three quarters in a row. On the other hand, the number of contracts concluded in this quarter remained the same as last quarter (2nd quarter: Jul 1 - Sep 30, 2021) at 169. Compared with the number of contracts concluded during the state of emergency under COVID-19 last year, the number has been keeping a high level of over 160 contracts.
