Want a free house? Try Japan

Right here is the sign of a dying country.

Want a free house? Try Japan. As its population ages, Japan’s stock of vacant housing is on the rise. The vacancies — mostly in rural parts of the country — have sparked an uptick in real estate sites offering houses at heavily reduced prices and even for free (after taxes and fees, of course). Japan’s elderly are ditching their homes because they can’t maintain them or to avoid paying property tax, CNBC reports. By 2033, 20% of the nation’s homes are expected to be vacant, up from 13.5% in 2013.
