Background and Purpose of Opening the 'Nagoya Higashi Sales Office' Aichi Prefecture, including Nagoya City where the sales office is located, boasts one of the largest market sizes in Japan for 'new housing starts,' indicating high demand for housing. In 2023, the number of new housing starts was 15,522 units, which is among the highest nationwide. *1 In recent years, the market structure has also seen changes, with the proportion of ready-built houses in new housing starts exceeding 40%. *1 Furthermore, in Nagoya City, major house builders are shifting towards higher-priced properties targeting high-income brackets, and products emphasizing added value such as design, housing performance, and lifestyle proposals. As a result, the contract price for custom-built homes is on an upward trend. Amidst this situation, there is a growing need among first-time homebuyers to 'purchase land and a house as a set within a realistic budget.' Hajime Kensetsu has opened the 'Nagoya Higashi Sales Office' to respond to these market needs and further strengthen its supply system for developed housing in the Nagoya area. *1 Source: Housing Industry Research Institute 'TACT' February 2024 issue (Aichi Prefecture Housing Market Analysis) About the 'Nagoya Higashi Sales Office' The 'Nagoya Higashi Sales Office' is located in Meito Ward, Nagoya City, and is a 9-minute walk from Kami-Yashiro Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Higashiyama Line.
