IESHIL Launches 'Listing Price History' for Condos in Tokyo Metropolitan Area, Visualizing the Gap Between Listing and Transaction Prices

Livesense Inc. (President and Representative Director: Taichi Murakami, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Securities Code: 6054), which operates the real estate information site 'IESHIL' (URL: https://ieshil.com/), launched a new feature on June 1, 2026, that allows users to view the 'Listing Price History' for used condominiums in the Tokyo metropolitan area. By displaying the history of listing prices alongside the existing transaction price history, the platform aims to clarify the price gap between sellers and buyers, supporting more informed and satisfactory real estate transactions. Background of Feature Development: The Growing Gap Between 'Seller's Asking Price' and 'Actual Transaction Price' Currently, the used condominium market in the Tokyo metropolitan area continues to trade at high levels. Consequently, a market issue has emerged where the price gap between the 'seller's asking price (listing price)' and the 'actual transaction price paid by the buyer' is widening. In typical real estate portal sites, only the current 'listing price (seller's desired price)' is displayed. If a prospective buyer accepts the listing price at face value, they risk 'buying at a price higher than the market value,' potentially leading to a significant loss in future asset value. According to a research report released by our company at the end of 2025, the rapid price surge was primarily driven by sellers' optimistic expectations that they could sell at higher prices, while the actual objective market value had already plateaued. Recent data from the Real Estate Information Network for East Japan (REINS) shows that from October 2025 to April 2026, the average listing price for used condominiums in Tokyo rose by approximately 10%, from 82.82 million yen to 90.84 million yen, while the average transaction price remained almost flat, moving from 70.28 million yen to 70.18 million yen. It is clear that a discrepancy still exists between 'listing prices' and 'transaction prices.' Overview of the New Feature: Enabling Comparison Between 'Listing Price History' and 'Transaction Price History' To solve these structural industry issues and enable buyers to make calm decisions, IESHIL has released a new 'Listing Price History' section in addition to the existing 'Transaction Price History' section. With this feature, users can objectively compare and verify 'how much it was listed for in the past (listing price history)' and 'how much it actually sold for (transaction price history)' on the same platform. Despite housing being the largest purchase in one's life, the information available to consumers remains biased. 'While the surge in condo listing prices is discussed daily, the actual market value remains flat.' I feel it is essential to make more consumers aware of this reality and create an environment where they can calmly consider buying and selling. The release of this 'Listing Price History' is a new step for IESHIL in questioning the 'status quo' of the real estate industry and promoting information transparency. Please use it to avoid taking listed prices at face value and to make a purchase without regrets. Future Outlook: Toward a 'Transparent Real Estate Market' by Eliminating Information Asymmetry IESHIL aims to 'provide the most transparent real estate services to our customers.' We will continue to eliminate information asymmetry in the real estate industry and promote service development using technology so that general consumers can make housing purchase decisions with peace of mind at appropriate prices.
