About Patience Realty's Japan Real Estate Intelligence Podcast
Japan’s residential property market produces a constant stream of data, reports, and news, but most of it is published only in Japanese. This gives local buyers and investors access to insights international audiences rarely see. Japan Real Estate Intelligence by Patience Realty helps close that gap. Each week, the podcast delivers a short audio briefing of the latest Intelligence articles, highlighting the trends shaping Japan’s residential property market - from Tokyo condominium pricing and rental trends to regional housing markets and the economic signals influencing housing across the country. If a story catches your interest, deep-dive links to the full articles are included in each episode description, all linked to the original Japanese reported source.
