Yep. Counterintuitively, housing in Japan depreciates unlike most of the world

Wonder how it is like in other countries with shrinking populations. Say, Korea.

Intuitively, it would make sense for housing prices to decrease when the demand decreases, supply being equal (It's not like housing deteriorates significantly in the short term).

Housing built with pine 2x4s really _should_ depreciate especially in termite/earthquake regions like CA, but doesn't seem like that'll ever happen.
