In Japan, where the value of "owning a home is a lifelong investment" is deeply ingrained, it is common in countries like the US and Australia to buy and sell real estate every 10 to 12 years on average. This difference in market perspective is what makes Japanese properties attractive options for overseas buyers.

1. Overseas buyers make decisions quickly.

In overseas markets where real estate is frequently bought and sold, buyers tend to evaluate properties quickly. Even properties that are often carefully considered domestically can potentially be sold faster by appealing to overseas buyers.

2. Due to the price difference between domestic and international markets, Japanese properties appear to be "bargain-priced."

In other countries, houses costing around 100 million yen are not uncommon. Compared to overseas market prices, Japanese properties appear surprisingly affordable. Even properties that might be difficult to sell in the domestic market can be quite attractive options from the perspective of overseas buyers.

3. Buying a used home is common.

In Europe and the United States, it's common to buy a used home and renovate it to your liking. The fact that it's "not new" isn't seen as a negative factor; in fact, older properties or those intended for renovation are often valued for their potential.
