PROPERTY BUBBLE ? / SEEN IT ALL BEFORE-
The unshakable confidence, the high percentage finance, the bubble valuations...
WHat Happened?
The Buyers gor stuffed.
"So Mr. Nakashima, a Tokyo city government employee who was then 36, took out a loan for almost the entire $400,000 price of a cramped four-bedroom apartment. With property values rising at double-digit rates, he would easily earn back the loan and then some when he decided to sell.
Or so he thought. Not long after he bought the apartment, Japan's property market collapsed. Today, the apartment is worth half what he paid. He said he would like to move closer to the city but cannot: the sale price would not cover the $300,000 he still owes the bank."
