New apartment supply up 21% in August
According to the Real Estate Economic Institute, 1,819 brand-new apartments were released for sale across greater Tokyo in August, up 21.1% from last year. This is the first time in eight months to see a year-on-year increase in supply. The boost in supply was largely attributed to the first round of sales in the Harumi Flag Athlete’s Village, which saw 600 apartments up for sale.
