October 2025 Japan residential investment trends released by Kenbiya

Japan-based real estate property portal Kenbiya has released its latest monthly summary of market trends for residential income-producing properties across Japan.

Kenbiya differentiates itself from other property portals by focusing only on income earning, or buy-to-let, properties.

The report, compiled by the firm, tracks advertised listing data published on the portal by subscribing agents for three major asset classes - strata-title condos, wood-frame multi-family whole buildings, and reinforced concrete multifamily whole buildings - including average gross yields and average asking prices.

The below outlines nationwide averages only to illustrate market trend movements and in no way guarantees pricing or yield data.  Real estate is a hyper-local venture so always consult with a licensed realtor for your property specific needs.
