Apartment transactions in January reach all-time high
The second state of emergency issued on January 7 wasn’t enough to slow buying activity this time around, with REINS reporting that 3,480 second-hand apartments were sold across greater Tokyo in January, up 37.3% from the previous month and up 29.9% from January 2020. This is the highest number of transactions seen for the month of January since REINS began reporting data in May 1990.
