First time exceeding 5 trillion yen since financial crisis

The total amount of real estate transactions compiled by Nikkei Real Estate Market Report in 2025 increased by 8% year-on-year to approximately 5,248.5 billion yen [$33 billion]. Despite concerns such as the rise in long-term interest rates, soaring real estate prices combined with unabated acquisition appetite pushed the amount beyond that of 2024, which had marked the largest transaction volume since the global financial crisis.
