# Investor interest for Japan homes doubles in Q1 with focus on Tokyo

**Completed or renovated units in established neighbourhoods are gaining traction.**

Interest amongst Singapore investors in Japan’s residential property market has continued to rise amidst geopolitical and economic uncertainties, according to OrangeTee.

The real estate agency said its enquiries have more than doubled quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of the year, with Tokyo remaining the primary focus of interest.

Investors are shifting towards completed or renovated units in established Central Tokyo neighbourhoods that offer immediate rental potential and accessible entry prices, it added.

Certified renovated homes with “like-new” interiors and corporate warranties are gaining traction, with entry prices ranging from $400,000 (JPY48m) to $1.5m (JPY180m), with rental yields of around 2.5% to 4%.

New launch projects in key districts such as Shinjuku are also attracting attention as opportunities for investors to secure central Tokyo property.

Meanwhile, nearby cities such as Yokohama are also drawing interest as diversification options within the Greater Tokyo area, supported by comparatively attractive price points, urban livability, and strong connectivity to the capital.

“Japan continues to be viewed by many Singapore investors as a relatively stable overseas market, supported by political stability, transparent legal frameworks, and strong property fundamentals,” said Steven Tan, key executive officer of OrangeTee International.
