Understanding Luxury Real Estate
When you search for "luxury real estate in Okinawa," VILLA IMG consistently ranks among the top results (as of September 12, 2024) in a search engine. By this we can say that VILLA IMG has established itself as a leading brand for luxury real estate in Okinawa. Let's go deeper into what we consider "luxury real estate."
Reality shows like "Selling Sunset" and " Parisian Agency" that you can see on Netflix have popularized the concept of luxury real estate worldwide, showcasing extravagant mansions and the agents who sell them.
What exactly does luxury mean or represent?
While terms like "premium" and "luxe" are often used, "luxury" typically refers to something that is extremely expensive and of very high quality. Luxury cars, jewelry, and hotels are prime examples.
What is a luxury hotel?
Often categorized as "five-star" or even "six-star," luxury hotels offer exceptional accommodations and services. These hotels typically feature top-notch interior and amenities such as pools, spas, and fine dining restaurants, and also provide personalized services for various occasions. They often command premium rates, with nightly prices ranging from hundreds to millions of yen.
What about luxury real estate?
A luxury property is more than just a house with high-end finishes. It's about properties that offer a truly exceptional experience, from their prime locations to their stunning designs. These homes are so extraordinary that they leave you speechless, with words like "gorgeous" and "amazing". In terms of price, luxury properties often start at around 3 million yen and can go up to 10 million yen or more overseas. While it's true that a 200 million yen house in Japan might seem expensive, but doesn't necessarily qualify as a luxury property if the construction is standard due to the increase in land and construction costs.
Ultra-Luxury Properties
Beyond luxury lies ultra-luxury real estate, typically valued at over 3 billion yen. Properties like the 131st-floor penthouse at Central Park Tower in Manhattan, with a listing price of 250 million USD (approximately 36 billion yen), have captured global attention. In Japan, the top-priced condominium is the penthouse at Aman Residences Tokyo, spanning 1,500 square meters and valued at around 200 million USD. Even in Niseko, Hokkaido, properties exceeding 2 billion yen are popular among both domestic and international buyers. These ultra-luxury properties often exceed 1,000 square meters and feature extravagant amenities such as indoor and outdoor pools, theaters, spas, bowling alleys, and expansive garages.

※When purchasing a luxury property, it's important to consider its resale value. In many overseas markets, it's common to buy properties, renovate them, and then sell them for a profit a few years later. By adding value through renovations, you can position your property for a higher sale price. While it's essential to price your property competitively, strategic renovations can be a key to a successful resale.
