According to the Real Estate Economic Institute, 2,651 new apartments were released for sale across greater Tokyo in February, down 24.1% from last year but up 45.2% from the previous month.

Demand still remains strong with a contract rate of 80.6%, up 4.2 points from last year and up 2.0 points from January.
