New apartment prices in Tokyo up 10.6% from last year
According to the Real Estate Economic Institute, a total of 2,895 brand-new apartments were released for sale across greater Tokyo in October, down 14.1% from the previous month but up 2.8% from last year. Sales in several large-scale projects within Tokyo pushed up the total supply for the month. The Institute had previously forecast a supply of 3,500 units for the month, but there were several cases of sales being delayed due to the quake-shock absorber falsified data scandal that came to light last month.
