Analysis
With Tokyo used-condo prices climbing for years, the question has shifted from where is cheap to what holds value. Toyo Keizai's ranking, distilled from over 40,000 buildings, answers bluntly: top assets cluster in Minato ward at prices above 350 million yen, led by large branded towers.
Resale strength converges on scarce central land, scale, developer brand, and sound management—a combination in chronically short supply, so capital keeps concentrating at the top while the gap with the average widens. The weak yen makes headline prices look accessible to foreign buyers, but exit liquidity at this tier depends on global money, and any lending squeeze from regulator warnings would accelerate the divergence between ranked and unranked stock.
