Nice to meet you. Introducing "Ano-Eki Real Estate"
Nice to meet you. I operate "Ano-Eki (That Station) Real Estate".
It started with my wife
A while ago, my wife started an account called "Ano-Eki Hokatsu Note" (That Station Childcare Hunting Note). Based on her own experience struggling to find childcare in an unfamiliar place after a job transfer, she researches and compiles information on nursery schools for each station.
Delivering the information she once struggled to find to others currently in the same situation. Watching my wife work silently after putting our children to sleep, I began to wonder if there was something I could do as well.
I remembered when we bought our own home
While thinking about it, the time we bought our own home came to mind.
Due to commuting convenience, the train line we would live on was mostly decided. What we struggled with was what came after that. There were over a dozen stations along the same line, and it was hard to decide which one to choose.
If you look at property websites, you can see the floor plans, photos, and prices. However, what I was concerned about was something a bit more fundamental. How much does the price differ for the same size between this station and that station? If we were to sell in the future, which one would retain its value better? Which one would be easier to live in after having children?
Information for each station can be found if you look for it, but I couldn't find any materials that allowed me to compare stations side-by-side. In the end, I relied on what the real estate agent told me and the general atmosphere when walking around the town, and made the decision while still feeling uneasy. I think I could have made a more informed choice if there had been materials that summarized and compared the stations along the line.
If that's the case, maybe I can use the skills I've cultivated in my work
In my main job, I create management meeting materials and IR documents for a publicly traded company. My job is to collect scattered data and organize it into a limited number of pages, keeping only what is necessary for decision-making as simply and clearly as possible.
The skills I've cultivated in this job might be directly applicable to choosing a station.
That is how "Ano-Eki Real Estate" was created.
You can compare all stations on one train line in a single volume
The PDF for each train line (21 pages, 1,980 yen) includes the following content:
A list of used condominium prices by station and building age. Which station and building age your current budget can reach
Stations that are less likely to drop in value, stations that have grown in the last few years, stations that are easy to sell, and stations that will change in the future
Station scale, commuting, child-rearing, shopping, future population, public safety, and disaster risk
Rankings for three categories: "For buying cheap," "For asset value," and "For ease of living"
The figures are based on public data such as real estate transaction price information from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, official land prices, future population projections, and crime statistics from prefectural police, re-aggregated by station and building age. Sources are listed on each page.
This publication starts with the conclusion. Instead of ending with "every station has its merits," we provide rankings. However, all the data used for these rankings is included in the back pages, so those who prioritize different criteria can rearrange the rankings themselves.
Each page contains only one message and one diagram. We have also avoided using technical jargon as much as possible. The length is designed to be read during breaks in your property search or while commuting.
