What a $400,000 House in Tokyo Japan will Get You

This is a Japanese Home Tour of a $400,000 house in Tokyo. This 60,000,000 JPY House tour is pre-renovation so it may look a bit rough. It's a 160 square meters, 44 year old, 4LDK house with 2 garages and a backyard sitting on 181 square meters of land. So in Japan, housing properties are evaluated based on the land value plus the building value. In Tokyo, the average land value is about 1.2M yen 8110 USD per square meter, while in this area, on the outskirts, it averages about 330,000 yen / 2230 USD per square meters, which would value this house’s land at around 400,000 dollars. But since this house was built in 1980, has been poorly maintained, left un-renovated with no one living here for 3 years, the house value in Japan is considered close to zero. Therefore, a total valuation of 400,000 USD. This Tokyo house is a 12 minute walk away from Komae train station, which has many shops and cool restaurants and of course a supermarket. Also, about a 20 mins train ride from Shinjuku station, this area has a down to earth relaxing vibe and my favorite 3 breweries in the area with one just across the street.

For a house built in the 1980s the house is in remarkable shape. Great potential.

@KoinzellGaming Місяць тому

In Japan, the reason why old homes are disliked and usually demolished is the hidden damage through the years of accumulated stress from Earthquakes. Generally when you buy a home you'd also best hire some people to check the integrity of the home, and to see for any of those hidden factors. Even if you don't see mold, there might be hidden mold in the walls as well (Paolo having an allergic reaction could be due to that, but I hope that's not the case & that it was just some dust/pet stuff) My wife who's Japanese says that 80's are already kinda risky and it'd be better to have a home built during the late 90's due to the updated building regulations.

I'm curious how the cost of deep renovations would compare to demolition and a new build. I understand that the latter is a common practice in japan.

@Kaitlin24247 Місяць тому

Why?

@estelsil Місяць тому

Me too! You can find many house videos of new builds but renovation seems rare in Japan.

@sacadosify Місяць тому

Nice! I'd move in as is and fix it up over time, since a lot of the issues are cosmetic. It's a shame that a family didn't get a chance to purchase it. Affordable housing is hard to find, and it seems like Airbnb units are taking away opportunities from young families to purchase a home. I'd definitely put in another tree - maybe a yuzu, lemon, cherry, plum or mandarin. Clean up the garden space and garden outdoors. Use the patio area for barbecues, etc.

@neurosass Місяць тому

@Jordan-inJapan Місяць тому

I live in a more rural area of Japan (Mie Prefecture) and I had assumed that a house in Tokyo would cost way more than a comparable one here. But actually, the place that Paolo shows us is not too far off what I’d expect for the same price here. Maybe about 20% higher? My family just recently finished building a house here, and the total cost was just a little less than the place in this video, including construction and land. I video blogged the whole process, if anyone is interested!

@missplainjane3905 Місяць тому

Is it the same kind of house sir

@DoctorEbot Місяць тому

I hope you put insulation in your new place. Most Japanese houses are too cold!

@Jordan-inJapan Місяць тому

@@missplainjane3905 No, The place Paolo introduced was basically traditional Japanese with a Scandinavian twist. From my place, we went with a traditional Japanese wood-frame construction, but the house itself is has a “modern rural” aesthetic.

@H.pylori Місяць тому

Agree with you. I would take it as is and just do some handyman type fixes like the cabinets with the scratches and add flooring or carpeting in the one room and make sure that water and TV and fiberoptic internet is set up. Also make sure the AC and heater and toilets work. Most of this work could be done gradually. Having two garages is a bonus in Tokyo. Perhaps the boxes in the second garage have some useful items for the house. I can clear the weeds in the yard and have rocks and pavers and a Zen garden put in. Would try to get the price down to $300,000 to $350,000.

That house has so much potential! Far more spacious than I would have originally expected. I do like the Scandinavian look downstairs. The built-in cabinetry is very similar to the "schrank" that many homes in Germany have. In fact, much more storage than typical for Japan, I should think. The one downstairs in the entry I would definitely restore rather than replace. The balcony connecting the two rooms is just fantastic. I could definitely see having some tea or coffee out there in the early morning on a day off. The lavatory upstairs by the stairs is a very nice hospitable touch that I would keep, but just replace the fixture itself. The garages are very beneficial as they are deep enough for storage in the back and still park cars or motorbikes. All in all, it's just great. I think once renovated it will definitely be a great investment. I'll start packing. 😊
