Buying a home isn’t just about wanting one.
In Japan, it’s a timing + stability + lifestyle decision.
Before you start searching, ask yourself honestly ![]()
Lifestyle & future
• Do I plan to stay in Japan more than 5+ years?
• Is my job location stable?
• Does ownership fit my current lifestyle?
Visa & income
• Is my visa stable?
• Is my income consistent and verifiable?
Financial readiness
• Am I prepared for:
Property tax
Maintenance & repairs
Insurance
Renting vs buying
In Japan:
Renting is sometimes the smarter choice
Buying too early can create stress and risk
I often advise clients not to buy yet through consultation if they’re not ready, in some cases I’d advise to clean CIC record,or to wait etc. will depend on clients current situation or help them get ready when the timing is right — and that’s part of proper advisory.
You’re ready when:
Timing makes sense
Financial structure is solid
Ownership improves your life
