🏙️ Have You Ever Wondered These Questions When Investing in Japanese Real Estate?
You’ve been renting out a property for years, but the rent hasn’t gone up at all.
Is the price too low? How much room is there to raise it?
An agent tells you, “Expected rent: ¥200,000/month.”
But deep down, you feel that number might be too optimistic…
You’re looking to invest in a rental property, and the broker gives you a “projected yield,”
but you’re unsure whether it reflects the actual rental market in that area.
What’s the rental market really like in this neighborhood?
Are key money and deposits standard, or is it a “zero-zero” ultra-competitive market?
Now, with the launch of Urbalytics' Rental Calculator, you can uncover the true rental income potential of any area or property!
1. Feature Overview | A Rent Evaluation Tool Backed by Real Market Data
Urbalytics’ Rental Calculator draws on our continuously updated database of rental market data to help you quickly answer questions like:
✅ Is My Current Rent Pricing Reasonable?
By simply inputting your property’s location, type (unit/building/house), size, and current rent,
Urbalytics will:
- Automatically compare against historical rental prices for similar properties in the area
- Show you the current market rent range and potential for rent increases
- Analyze how far your rent deviates from market rates
✅ Is the “Projected Rent” Inflated?
Input the agent's suggested rent, and the system will:
- Match it against actual rental listings and transactions
- Provide a judgment on whether it's overestimated or realistic
- Evaluate whether the projected yield is idealized or grounded in reality
✅ Understand a Property’s True Rental Potential & Market Conditions
See at a glance:
- Local listings, floor plans, deposits, key money, floor levels
- Real rental market conditions and price points in the area
- Data to support rent increases, tenant changes, or negotiation strategies
2. Real Case Study | Understanding the True Value of a Studio Apartment
Let’s say you're considering purchasing a 30㎡, 1R apartment built in 2015, near Nakano-Sakaue Station, listed at ¥44.5 million. It’s currently vacant.
The agent tells you:
“An apartment like this in this location should rent for ¥180,000/month. That gives you a projected gross yield of 4.85% — not bad for a fairly new property.”
But after using the Urbalytics Rental Calculator:
- Actual rental prices for similar listings in the area range from ¥136,900 to ¥153,000/month
- The agent’s projection is about 20% higher than market
- The true gross yield is below 3.9%, not the 4.85% claimed
📌 Conclusion: The expected return is overestimated, and you should factor that in before making your decision.
