Is Tokyo’s property market reaching its peak?After steady growth, house prices dipped 1.08 per cent in AugustResidential land prices have been rising in Tokyo since December 2012 with a knock-on effect on house prices © GettyNOVEMBER 17, 2017 Hannah RobertsThe tale of Hachiko, an Akita dog, who greeted his owner after work at Tokyo’s Shibuya station every day, is a Japanese version of Greyfriars Bobby. After his master’s death in 1925, Hachiko waited outside the station until his own death 10 years later, epitomising the revered Japanese qualities of loyalty and obedience.A statue of Hachiko remains a popular meeting spot in Shibuya, but the once collectivist Japanese culture has gradually become less reverent of tradition and more individualistic, helping to shape a fast-moving housing market. With young Japanese marrying later, or forgoing marriage, the average household size in Tokyo’s 23 wards has fallen from 2.13 in 2000 to 1.93 as of the end of 2016, according to a Savills report. Single-person households in Greater Tokyo have risen from 41 per cent in 2000 to 47 per cent in 2015, according to government analysis, driving demand and creating opportunities for investors.Residential land prices have been rising in Tokyo since December 2012 with a knock-on effect on house prices. Shibuya, where the population has grown by 14 per cent in 15 years, is undergoing rapid change. Land prices there increased 35-40 per cent between January 2013 and January 2017, according to the local authority. Historically a neighbourhood known for entertainment and nightlife, Shibuya has, since the 1990s, become ground zero to Japan’s tech start-up community, earning it the nickname “Bit Valley”. The area, one of the world’s busiest transport hubs, is undergoing a 2.6 hectare urban regeneration project, “the biggest facelift in 20 years”, according to Chris Mancini of Savills. Well-connected on the Yamanote Loop line train, it has a mixture of affordable and high-end houses with 1,700 new units planned for completion over the next decade.CitarWe thought the market was going to collapseSonny Saito, chief executive of Japan Capital RealtySince Prime Minister Shinzo Abe came to power in 2012, his policies of low interest rates and devaluation of the yen through quantitative easing have fuelled sales in Japan. The yen is relatively cheap, compared with its historic value against Asian currencies and against the US dollar, says Sonny Saito, chief executive of Japan Capital Realty, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, making Japan attractive to international investors. The price of new condominiums in Japan’s cities in August 2017 was 36 per cent higher than in 2012.Street food on offer at Omoide Yokocho © Sebastien Lebegue/ANAGirls in fancy dress in Shibuya © James Delano/Redux/EyevineThe Tokyo 2020 Olympics is also enticing foreign investment, mostly from Southeast Asia, according to Mancini. “Tokyo gets a bad rap for being expensive,” he says, “but it’s cheap compared to other global cities like London and Hong Kong.” Here a mid-market apartment in the central five wards is $15,000 per sq metre; in Hong Kong a similar property would cost $40,000 per sq m.New Chinese capital controls, in theory, prevent investment in foreign real estate, but much capital has already left mainland China via Singapore and Hong Kong, says Saito, with other workarounds emerging.One of the most desirable pockets of Shibuya is Daikanyama, “an up-and-coming hipster area with low-density, low-rise buildings, boutiques and open-air cafés”, according to Mancini. A two-bedroom apartment with roof terrace in Daikanyama is on the market for $2.2m with Japan Property Central. A three-bedroom apartment in the same area is on the market with Sotheby’s International Realty for $1.58m.Bright lights in Shibuya, Tokyo © Lucas Vallecillos / Getty ImagesModernity meets tradition © Mark RobinsonNear Shibuya station, Nanpeidai, a relatively leafy area where the mansions of Shogun families once stood, is now home to celebrities and former government ministers. A new development, The Parkhouse, Shibuya Nanpeidai, has recently gone on sale off-plan. A five-bedroom house with garden is on the market for $7m with Sotheby’s International Realty.While Shibuya is experiencing rapid change, the city’s central three wards still command the highest prices. Land in the Ginza shopping district in Chuo ward is the most expensive in the country — if not the world — reaching $350,000 per sq metre. Aoyama, a cosmopolitan residential neighbourhood with international supermarkets and schools, in Minato ward, is popular with expatriates.Japan is predicted to remain the world’s third-biggest economy after China and the US, according to Nomura research. “Tokyo is a global city home to more Fortune 500 companies than any city, apart from Beijing,” says Mancini.House on Nanpeidai Estate, £5.3mJapanese homes devalue as much as 10 per cent a year, and are usually rebuilt after 30 years, with newer anti-seismic technology. But investors resident in Japan still benefit overall, because of generous mortgage tax-breaks, combined with low interest rates and rental returns are around 3-4 per cent a year.But there are indicators that the market has peaked: there was a price reduction of 0.7 per cent across Greater Tokyo in December, compared with the year before. “We thought the market was going to collapse,” says Saito.Tokyo’s population is growing by 1 per cent a year and because land is limited, prices might continue to strengthen. But other factors suggest prices may be reaching a ceiling. New units sold for an average of 28.7 times Tokyo’s annual average rent in 2016, up 1.4 points from 12 months earlier and 4.9 points from 2012, according to Tokyo Kantei, an appraiser. In August, prices dipped again by 1.08 per cent year-on-year, according to Japan Real Estate Institute.The IMF predicts the country’s economy will grow just 0.5 per cent for the next five years. North Korea is also a concern. If Abenomics doesn’t lead to a revival in the Japanese economy, investors may be left, like Hachiko, waiting for a return that never comes.Buying guideTaxes and fees (including 3 per cent to the buyer’s agent) will add about 6 to 10 per cent to the purchase priceThere are no restrictions on foreigners owning homes, but a home doesn’t come with a residence permit, which overseas buyers may need if they wish to live in JapanWhen buying an apartment, it is important to own the land as well]What you can buy for . . .$900,000 A two-bedroom apartment in Tokyo’s Minato ward$1.75m A three-bedroom apartment in the Nishiazabu neighbourhood$8m A penthouse in the city centre]Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden © Micah CoxPhotographs: Allan Baxter / Getty Images; Lucas Vallecillos / Getty Images; Mark Robinson; Micah CoxMore homes at propertylistings.ft.com
We thought the market was going to collapseSonny Saito, chief executive of Japan Capital Realty
November 18, 2017Dear Investors,US large cap stocks are the most overvalued in history, higher than prior speculative mania market peaks in 1929 and 2000. We prove it conclusively across six comprehensive dimensions:1. Price to Sales2. Price to Book3. Enterprise Value to Sales4. Enterprise Value to EBITDA5. Price to Earnings6. Enterprise Value to Free Cash FlowBrutal bear markets and recessions have historically followed from record valuations like we have today, and this time will almost certainly be no different. Not even positive macro factors like low interest rates, low inflation, or recently improving earnings growth can justify today’s extreme valuation levels. As we show herein, that was the same backdrop that we had in 1929, the setup to the biggest market crash in history and the Great Depression. Optimism over “new-era” technologies are not justification for high multiples today; they are hallmarks of market tops. Artificial intelligence and crypto-currencies feature prominently in current investor enthusiasm, a climate akin to the tech bubble peak. Also, excitement over new pro-business and pro-economic growth policies coming from Washington are poor grounds to rationalize today’s valuations. Again, this is a hallmark of a market top. History has proven that market plunges routinely follow first-year Republican presidents where ebullience over business-friendly government policy runs rampant and only sets the market up for failure. Witness the market meltdowns that followed Hoover (1929), Eisenhower (1953), Nixon (1969), Reagan (1981), and Bush (2001) in their first years. Any real economic boost from Republican tax cuts now before Congress, if such legislation passes, is already more than priced into the market.There are many catalysts that are likely to send stocks into bear market in the near term. A likely bursting of the China credit bubble is first and foremost among them. Our data and analysis show that China today is the biggest credit bubble of any country in history. We believe its bursting will be globally contagious for equities, real estate, and credit markets. The US and China bubbles are part of a larger, global debt-to-GDP bubble, which is also historic in scale, and the product of excessive, lingering central bank easy monetary policies in the wake of the now long-passed 2008 Global Financial Crisis. These policies failed to resolve the debt-to-GDP imbalances that preceded the last crisis. Now, central bank easy monetary policies have created even bigger debt-to-GDP imbalances and asset bubbles today that will precipitate the next one.We are in the very late stages of the global economic and business expansion cycle with investor sentiment reflecting record optimism typical at market peaks, a sign of capitulation in very late stages of a bull market. Crescat is positioned profit from the coming broad, global cyclical market and economic downturn that we foresee. We strongly believe that our global equity net short positioning in our hedge funds will be validated soon.

En cualquier caso, habría que decir que, estando en 2017, las cosas no han ido como pensábamos. El monstruo era mucho más grande y fuerte de lo que suponíamos. Pero, para mi, seguir a ppcc y los debates asociados se convirtió en un precepto, que me ha aportado mucho personalmente. No participo un poco por pereza y un mucho porque no creo que pueda aportar más allá de lo que ya leo, pero aprovecho para enviar mi agradecimiento a los que mantienen la llama encendida (sagrada, porque mantiene la luz entre tantas tinieblas interesadas). Un saludo

LOS QUE CREEN QUE LA CRISIS ES 'FINANCIERA' NO ENTIENDEN LO QUE ESTÁ PASANDO AHORA.-Nunca nos han explicado qué es eso de que la crisis era 'financiera'. ¿Acaso hay alguna crisis que no sea financiera?La tan cacareada crisis 'financiera' no es más el lado feo del modelo popularcapitalista puesto en marcha en los 1980.¿Cómo no vas a tener problemas 'financieros' si la mitad de la Renta se te pierde como agua en un cesto, acabando en destinos 'aproductivos': rentas inmobiliarias, rentas financiero-fijas, pensiones y subsidios, y supersalarios?Parece que la moda entre los 'financieristas' es la Hipótesis 'Everything Bubble':- «In 2000, we had the internet bubble. In 2007, we had the housing bubble. In 2017, we have the everything bubble».http://www.mauldineconomics.com/the-10th-man/the-everything-bubblehttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-19/people-ask-wheres-leverage-time-eric-peters-answersInicialmente nos gustó la idea de la 'todoburbuja', pero nos hemos dado cuenta de que forma parte del 'financierismo', según el cual, lo no-financiero es 'víctima' de lo financiero —cuando la relación causal es la contraria—.Lo hemos pensado mejor y, de 'todoburbuja', nada de nada. Para nosotros:- «In 2000, we had the internet bubble. In 2007, we had the housing bubble. In 2017, we have the internet & housing re-bubble».Que el 'leverage' irracional esté más repartido que en 2000 y 2007 solo quiere decir que, ahora, los 'financieristas' van a tener más difícil culpar a lo financiero del repinchazo de la burbuja popularcapitalista.Gracias por leernos.P.S.: Los últimos serán los primeros.-El equipo español —Mapfre— de la 'Volvo Ocean Race', en la segunda etapa Lisboa-Ciudad del Cabo, ha optado por navegar más al sur que nadie, lo que le relegaba al último lugar; pero ello le ha permitido beneficiarse de los vientos más alejados del anticiclón; y ahora navega hacia el este, proa a Ciudad del Cabo,... ¡en primer lugar!http://www.volvooceanrace.com/es/dashboard.htmlPublicado por: pisitófilos creditófagos | 11/20/2017 en 02:21 a.m.
Let me conclude. The ECB’s mandate is framed in terms of price stability, as this is the best contribution that we can make to the welfare of citizens. Ensuring price stability is a precondition for the economy to be able to grow along a balanced path that can be sustained in the long run. This is the guiding principle of all our monetary policy decisions.With the recovery ongoing, now is the right moment for the euro area to address further challenges to stability. This means actively putting our fiscal houses in order and building up buffers for the future – not just waiting for growth to gradually reduce debt. It means implementing structural reforms that will allow our economies to converge and grow at higher speeds over the long term. And it means addressing the remaining gaps in the institutional architecture of our monetary union.
[...]Es decir, si se fija y desde los máximos de finales de 2015, esas manos fuertes no han hecho más que ir reduciendo sus posiciones en acciones americanas hasta llegar, hoy día, a estar muy cerca de los mínimos de estos últimos años. Mientras esto ha sucedido, el precio (S&P500) no ha dejado de subir en un ambiente de cierta euforia y autocomplacencia como muestran tanto la volatilidad actual del mercado, como las posiciones cortas récord abiertas sobre ella.Así las cosas, mientras le hacen creer que todo va bien y que la bolsa que usted ve está imparable y no hay alternativa alguna para tanta liquidez, los grandes jugadores no hacen más que colocarle sus títulos mientras reducen sus posiciones al mínimo de los últimos años. Posiblemente me equivoque, pero el ADN del mercado no miente y debería por lo menos, darle una pensada antes de tomar nuevas decisiones.
