ABSTRACT

Korea is rapidly changing into an aged society with low birth rate. Due to this trend, real estate market in Korea will go under structural change. The purpose of this paper is to analyze structural changes in Japanese real estate market which is a precedent aging market with low birth rate, and to draw some lessons for Korea. Through literature survey and analysis with empirical data, major changes in Japanese real estate market are found as follows: 1) Aging society results in expansion of inter-regional as well as intra-regional disparity. Especially, local cities and suburban areas suffer more than large cities and inner-city areas. 2) Suburban areas located farther than 30km from Tokyo Metropolis suffer from deep land price decrease. 3) Even with overall high housing supply ratio, small-sized new apartments with central locations are well absorbed in the market. 4) Special care for aging as well as young population is needed in order for new housing to be absorbed in the market. These findings may suggest some implications for Korean real estate market: 1) Demographic changes by itself may not result in an immediate dip in real estate prices 2) However, Korean government should be cautious in making further new towns including so-called “innovation cities,” far from the center of large cities. 3) Some immediate measure should be taken in order for senior citizens could adjust and liquidate their housing stock.
