If you are finding value in these videos, and you haven’t yet, please like and subscribe. It really helps build the channel. I’m here in Nagoya. It’s very uh rainy day waiting for that cold weather to come because it’s still pretty hot and humid. Hope you guys are great. Enjoy the tour. All right, this home is next to Tanuki Village. This is the largest collection of Tanukis by far I’ve ever seen. You see them over there on the lefth hand side, too. So, that’s pretty dang cute. Um, here is the actual home across the street. It’s a concrete build, two uh 24.8 8 million yen, 170,000 USD, twotory, 4 LDK, 125 m, built in 2003, and a 10-minute walk from the nearest station here in Coobe. Quiet neighborhood. This is very close to the last home that I posted, uh, just about 5 minutes away. And much quieter, small little neighborhood. I did see the uh, it was an older man who lived across the street in Tanuki Village. Seemed very nice. said hello. This home is I think cuz of the area it’s a little bit more expensive. It’s built in 2003. It’s not in perfect condition. There’s an old uh Japanese home with a chimney fireplace built into it. So, that’s pretty cool. But there’s some cracking on the concrete. Overall, I’m sure it’s okay. Um I haven’t sold a lot of concrete homes like this. It’s not very appealing to the eye from the outside, that’s for sure. But uh if the foundation is okay and it’s not too bad at cracking, it should be a pretty solid home. Compared to the last home that was turnkey style, this does need some work renovation. It looks like a family home that was well lived in. Basically, all the wallpaper needs to be replaced in the entire home as you’ll see. Here’s the kitchen. Looks a little bit dated, but induction heating stove and I think it’s fine to use as it is. These are things that you could use it the way it is now. Later, if you wanted to upgrade it, you definitely could. So, here’s a look from the other side of the kitchen. It’s a bit small. Hey guys, I’m here in the second house. I’m viewing in Coobe and very large home. It’s more of a family home, so this is right under 25 million yen. Again, above a lot of people’s budgets, but we do have clients out there who are looking for this price range. Um, this home has a lot of potential for sure. It’s overall in good condition. It’s a cement home, so I think the foundation would be completely fine. I don’t feel or see any kind of leaning uh or any damages to the structure. Might be a little bit of water damage in there. Not sure what that is. Um but overall, a good home. It just needs some aesthetic stuff. You know, all the wallpapers, you’ll see in the video, there’s just basically all this needs to be replaced. a size home like this one I would say is probably around 300,000 uh to replace all the wallpaper. So like 22 2,300 bucks. Um so it’s got a lot of potential. Um the layout’s a little bit strange. I’m not exactly sure where you would put the TV stuff like that. But it’s got a nice tatami room uh for tea with the kotatu that will be nice in the winter, keep you warm. So, uh, I think overall it is a good option if it’s in your budget and in the in the area. It’s a very nice area. Neighbors are great. You see the Tanuki collection across the street there. Um, so if it’s in your price range and you like this size of home and style, I think it is a really good bang for your buck, even though it might be above the average buyer’s budget. I’d like to give some thoughts while I’m at the property. Here is the tatami room with the kotatu downstairs. You can actually take that uh table off. You sit down and put your legs underneath it. It heats up. It’s very nice in the winter. Little tea room. You can take that table off and there’s a mat over by the stairs that you can put on it to make it a solid room. Look like a I don’t know what was going on there. I don’t think it’s water stains cuz I don’t know where it would come from unless it’s above the toilet and something happened there. But here is the Kotachu Tatami room. You can close off the shoe doors for some more privacy. Very Japanese style. So, you know, some of these quote newer homes are, you know, late ‘9s and uh earlier are built more western style, but they always keep at least one room in the home to give it uh that Japanese feel. And this is that room in the home. So, pretty cool. if you’re still wanting a Japanese feel to the home. Pretty big open space here, but a bit awkward. I don’t know exactly how you would set it up. I think this is where they would put the TV. The cable connection was there. Maybe a L-shaped couch out there in the middle, but quite a bit of room down in the living room. Nonetheless, these were all shuttered. So, all of the windows in the home have shutters that slide across. Not not the newer style that slides up, but always nice to have if you’re going to be gone for an extended amount of time or a typhoon, bad storm’s coming through. Couple different angles from downstairs. Here’s the first floor toilet. And there’s just marks and stains all over the wall. Even going up the stairs, you’ll see them. I don’t know how they got there. I always, you know, try to piece together what happened. But, you know, it just needs to be replaced. If you replace all the wallpaper, it’s going to look and feel much better. That’s for sure. You’ll see some cleaning needs to be done in the bath area. Here’s a storage room. Place for your washing machine. Here’s the sink. vent there to kick out some humidity. Looks like it hasn’t been lived in for quite some time. I think it was pretty new on the market, but I it seems like it’s been sitting for for quite a while. You can see stuff on the ceiling here. Looks like mold, I guess. I don’t know exactly, but a a good cleaning should clear all that up. I wasn’t brave enough to touch it. Need to stay healthy. Tub’s pretty nice size, but it looks a bit dated. Here’s the gencon, the entrance way. Large door. Plenty of space here for Japanese standards. Anyway, a place you could sit down to put on your shoes. So, it has a modern nice feel. Look out the front door where we started out there on the street. All the homes are being lived in. Looks like a very nice neighborhood. Again, it’s a bit bit higher of a price tag than most would typically be looking for, but again, we have all kinds of requests from, you know, as cheap as possible, which I don’t recommend, to, you know, 50 plus million yen. So, it just depends on the client. Here’s the stairs. Large area open all the way to the ceiling. Here’s all those stains on the the wall. Again, not exactly sure where it’s from, how it got there, but it’s there. Look down the stairs as we climb up to the second floor. There are three rooms up here and another toilet. So, this does have two toilets. So, for the price, you know, you do need to do some renovations, which isn’t ideal if you’re spending this much already. This door wasn’t quite closing properly. I don’t think this home’s going to be leaning. So, it might just be the wood uh warping with the humidity. Um, but if uh this fits what you’re looking for and you want a large family style home, then it could be a good option. Didn’t see any kind of water stains on the ceilings. There was places, I believe, in every room to install an aircon. no aircons currently in the home, which is actually great because they might be used and have to be replaced anyway. If there are air conss existing in the home, a lot of times they’ll remove them for us so you don’t have to deal with that and pay extra to have them removed. And then again, we can offer introduce different companies that will offer services to install aircons, do renovations, handle your utility payments. If you don’t live in Japan, you can’t get a bank account. So, it makes it a little challenge to handle your utilities and uh also they will take care of your taxes and help uh set up your insurance as well. So, the entire process from beginning to close, we can help out as well as post-closing items that I just mentioned. So, look outside. See the Tanuki home off behind me. Now, this balcony looked okay. And again, I I was looking underneath the roof here. Didn’t see any signs of leaking, any kind of water damage. Just cuz I’m not seeing it doesn’t mean it’s not there. I mean, that’s why we get the inspector to come in and look at everything 100% of the time, actually. So, uh, inspections are very important. They can be anywhere from 100 to 150, 60,000 yen. And this one might be closer to that 160,000 yen cuz it’s a larger home. Also depends if they can get under the floor to look at the foundation and up in the attic as well. Here’s a second room upstairs. A little bit smaller, but has a closet and access to the balcony. There’s another room across the hallway that’s about the same size. a much smaller balcony, but there is a balcony. And there’s uh Tanuki Village. I love it. You see this cracking here? That’s not on the foundation. That’s good. But, you know, it’s there, so might be some concern. This is a wood railing. I would definitely want to be getting that replaced. Doesn’t look too sturdy. Looks pretty aged. A good lean might be all it takes to bring it down. And I mean, it didn’t feel super uh undury, but you know, you want to be safe up there. Again, didn’t see any water damage on this side as well. Bathroom to the left, the first room to our right, and here’s the third room across the hallway. Basically, a mirror image of the other one we’re in. Plenty of natural light coming in. Again, all of these were shuttered when I came. I didn’t get any videos of it shuttered, but um all these windows and doors will be covered with a shutter. So, if you’re gone for a long uh an extended period of time, it’s great to be able to to shut those up. So, that is the tour of the home and one last look at all the tanukis. If you come to Japan, it’s a a great gift to take back. Stopped at this great little Italian restaurant. The lady said she’s been um running the restaurant for 38 years. The food was reasonable and fantastic. That’s a tour here in Coobe for this home. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you have any questions about real estate in Japan, please reach out.
