Is now a good time to buy a house in Tokyo?

Hi there,

So me and my wife are planning to buy a house recently. And after searching for about two months, we finally found a 新築 within our budget that we really like.

But today, I saw news about some new restrictions on foreigners, which has made me a bit worried. Will house prices skyrocket / plummet? Or will foreigners be prohibited from buying property altogether, or face higher taxes? Should we postpone buying a house?

Thanks in advance.
