Tokyo condo sales plunge to 24-year low

Japan times article discusses Tokyo Condo Sales   , and my only reaction is “Duh”.

What can one expect when there the population is declining?
I keep seeing new Condos and houses built around my station and I don’t understand who buys them.  Most probably people are getting closer to Tokyo, thus leaving empty houses behinds.

I heard from friends they expect prices to go up until Tokyo olympics, but it does not make sense economically. Population decline means prices down. Foreign buyers? a few and not enough.

I do not invest in real estate in Japan. Do not understand it enough and I really believe prices will continue to go down.
