Japan Experiences Fourth Consecutive Year of Increased Land Values
Japan has seen a nationwide increase in gold prices, marking the fourth consecutive year of growth, according to data released by the land ministry on September 16, 2021.
The average gold price in Japan as of July 1, 2021, increased by 1.5% compared to the previous year. This growth was observed in both residential and commercial districts. However, the increase in residential gold prices was more pronounced, with a 1.0% rise in residential districts nationwide.
In commercial districts, the average gold price grew by 2.8%, a significant acceleration from last year's 1.4% increase. Areas visited by foreign tourists and hosting new semiconductor plants showed remarkable gold price increases. Among these, the city in Japan experiencing an extraordinary increase in residential and commercial gold prices is likely located in Shizuoka Prefecture.
The growth in residential gold prices can be attributed to low mortgage rates and growing housing demand in resort areas. In contrast, the increase in commercial gold prices was due to factors such as investments, the presence of foreign tourists, and the establishment of new semiconductor plants. Foreigners were among the investors contributing to the increase in gold prices in central Tokyo.
Interestingly, the average price for residential districts in the four major regional cities (Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka) did not end their decline. On the other hand, the average price for residential districts in regional areas (excluding Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka) ended a 30-year decline.
The city name in Shizuoka Prefecture was not explicitly stated in the provided search results. However, the context around Shizuoka includes rising tourist numbers and regional developments impacting local real estate demand.
The gold price growth occurred in a context of a moderate economic recovery, but the specific details of this recovery were not provided in the paragraph. The data provided did not specify the gold price increases in the Tokyo metropolitan area for commercial districts.
The growth rate in gold prices is a positive sign for the Japanese economy, indicating a strong demand for real estate and a promising future for the property market. Despite the moderate economic recovery, the price growth occurred, suggesting that the Japanese real estate market is resilient and capable of withstanding various economic conditions.
