Immobilien- und Wohnvokabular auf Japanisch: Erfolgreich kommunizieren im Land der aufgehenden Sonne: How do I ask about property prices in Japanese real estate terms
To ask about property prices in Japanese real estate terms, a key phrase is “販売価格” (はんばいかかく, hanbai kakaku), which means “asking price” or “selling price” of a property. A common way to inquire would be to ask:
- この物件の販売価格はいくらですか?
(Kono bukken no hanbai kakaku wa ikura desu ka?)
”How much is the asking price of this property?”
Other useful terms related to price inquiries include:
- 価格 (かかく, kakaku) — price
- 取引価格 (とりひきかかく, torihiki kakaku) — transaction price
- 値段 (ねだん, nedan) — price (more casual)
When discussing prices with real estate agents or in official settings, “販売価格” is more appropriate.
Additionally, if discussing land value specifically, one might encounter terms such as:
- 地価 (ちか, chika) — land price
- 公示価格 (こうじかかく, kouji kakaku) — official land price
So, to ask specifically about property price in a typical Japanese real estate context, use:
この物件の販売価格はいくらですか? (Kono bukken no hanbai kakaku wa ikura desu ka?) which means “What is the asking price of this property?”
