A: Hey there! Any news on the property market lately?
   B: Not really, what's up?

A: Well, did you know that new condo prices in Tokyo and nearby prefectures hit a new record high this year?
   B: No way, how much are we talking here?

A: About 89.58 million yen, which is over 600,000 dollars! It's up by about 17% compared to last year and even higher than in 2019 before the pandemic.
   B: Whoa, that's expensive! What caused such a rise?

A: They say it's due to increased land and construction costs. Tokyo saw a 20% increase, while other areas like Kanagawa and Saitama also experienced significant rises. But oddly, Chiba saw a slight drop in prices.
   B: That's crazy! I wonder who's buying these expensive condos?

A: Seems like wealthy Japanese people and foreigners are snapping them up. They say the high prices might continue due to ongoing rising costs.
