The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism published on July 31, 2025, the Corporate Transaction Volume Index for April 2025 based on registration data. This index processes and indexes the volume of transfer registrations for existing buildings (residential and non-residential) acquired by corporations, published monthly as a trial operation.
Key results for April 2025 show the total seasonally adjusted value increased 4.4% month-over-month to 277.6. Breaking down by category: residential total seasonally adjusted value decreased 0.7% month-over-month to 287.7, detached houses decreased 0.02% month-over-month to 336.3, and condominiums decreased 1.4% month-over-month to 245.1, while non-residential increased significantly by 20.2% month-over-month to 265.9 (2010 average = 100).
This index adopts a combined approach for handling condominiums with floor areas under 30 square meters to unify collection methods with the existing housing sales volume index for comparability. It serves as an important leading indicator for understanding corporate real estate transaction trends.
