Japanese Real Estate Boom - Case in point: JR Moji Station area of Kitakyushu City

Real estate in Japan is about to boom.

 It's starting.

 Now is definitely the time to invest in Japan and its real estate market.

At the moment, there is a lot of construction near JR Moji Station.  Moji Station is located in the Moji Ward of the city of Kitakyushu in Kyushu's Fukuoka Prefecture.  This area was previously dank and depressing.  People commuting by train would look out the windows and think "What a dump...". 

No more.  It is revitalized. 

Check out the YouTube video below and you'll see there are new high rise condominiums full of renters and tenants, and more are being built now.  Homes are also being constructed. 

Investors KNOW they will be sold.  Investors KNOW the condos can be rented out as apartments.

Foreign investors and Japanese investors are shifting their focus from larger cities and more expensive property to the Fukuoka area and its lucrative and more reasonably priced properties. 

We have high hopes for the Moji area and are happy to see it beginning to thrive after a long hiatus. 

Welcome to Japanese Japanese real estate boom. 

Welcome back Moji. 

Welcome to Moji.


Housing boom in Kitakyushu now?

Housing boom in Kitakyushu now?

They are popping up all over the city now.  It's been a while since we've heard it, but banks and home builders are saying things are looking better and they are constructing new houses around the greater Kitakyushu area now.  Prices are quite reasonable, also.

One reason is that the economy seems to be getting better, partly due to the resurgence  of the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) in the Japanese government.  The other party took a lot of the blame and wasn't so effective.  Based on these hopes, companies are seemingly becoming a bit more confident and aggressive.

Another underlying reason for the rush now would be the unfortunately seemingly unavoidable increase of Japan's national consumption tax (sales tax in the USA).  It is currently at five percent, but the government is leaning towards increasing it to ten percent.  Five percent savings is quite an amount, so investors and people buying homes are trying to take advantage of the lower consumption tax while they still can.

The success and aggressive home builders like Arnest One who are manufacturing a large variety of house at quite low rates is also a leading factor in the current boom we see developing.  A new house in Kitakyushu can be had for quite a reasonable price now. 



Hopefully the trend will continue and Kitakyushu will enjoy further prosperity.  The current mayor has a good reputation and is working hard to make Kitakyushu a better place for both citizens and businesses.  The last few years have seen good outside investment into Kitakyushu, as well as solid and well planned improvements to the city in general and its infrastructure.

Kitakyushu is also enjoying positive exposure nationally in films.  The Kitakyushu Film Commission, also called "KFC" is apparently finger lickin' good for filmmakers.  A lot of high profile, high budget films have been set in Kitakyushu over the last couple of years.  Good PR for the city, and it brings in some decent money for local businesses and the people of Kitakyushu.

All in all, things are looking good.  Now is probably one of the best times to invest in Kitakyushu real estate or buy a residential property for yourself.  Inquiries in English can be handled by Matt at Mikawa Real Estate.  His contact details are here:
