The weakening yen has boosted interest for Japan properties among Taiwanese investors, with transactions growing significantly over the past year. With economic policy changes also taking effect, real estate in Japan has become significantly more affordable.
Amid all this, ECG Property, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ECG Group of Companies, has formed a partnership with Taiwan Realty to help interested buyers.
ECG Group CEO Dato’ Eric Cheng said, “Taiwan is a strong market and their buying power is highly noteworthy making them ideal investors for overseas properties. Our partnership with Taiwan Realty will make the purchasing of Japan real estate more holistic for Taiwanese investors given our highly trained sales team and supreme asset management service.”
Taiwan Realty has a significant presence in Taiwan with 10,000 agents and over 500 outlets across the country, which in turn has helped ECG gain manpower and achieve the marketing approach needed.
The first of several Japanese property launches involving this partnership took place on 1 March in Taipei for Concieria Mita, a prime condominium in Minato, Tokyo. More launches are lined up this month and in April.
Last year, ECG sold more than 600 overseas properties, including from Japan.
