Build Your Dream Home in Nishinomiya! What’s a Used Home Renovation Where the Whole Family Feels Like Movie Characters?

Did you know you can have a living room like this with payments about the same as rent?

“Wait, is this a movie set?!”
The large tile wall, the indirect lighting… It feels like a cafe-style living room, and it is seriously stylish!

“If my kid were studying here, I’d want to quietly keep an eye on them!”
With a study space in the living room, you can feel close to your child even while doing housework. Isn’t that the best?

“Wouldn’t you want to live in a home like this?”
Actually, this can come true in just 3 months! And in Nishinomiya, no less!

The secret is a pre-owned property + renovation.

With Kurasuma in Nishinomiya, you can create a wonderful space like this perfectly tailored to your family✨

If you’ve been thinking, “What should we do about our home from now on…?”, this could be just right for you.

Wait, Is This a Cafe? A Showroom Like That

Kurasuma was featured in a Nishitsu opening article last September.

The moment I stepped into the showroom, I was surprised by how incredibly stylish it was✨

The tea they served us. It felt like a cafe and was so relaxing.

It’s bright, spacious, and even has a kids’ space, so it seems like you could take your time discussing things even with children along.

That’s when Mr. Tatebe, a sales representative from Kurasuma, appeared!

“Hello, I’m Tatebe. Today, I’ll explain the costs of buying a pre-owned property and renovating it in an easy-to-understand way!”

Newly built homes generally have an image of being really expensive, but how much of a difference is there compared with pre-owned homes?

That’s right. In an area like Nishinomiya, it’s common for newly built homes to exceed 50 million yen. But with a pre-owned property plus renovation, your dream home can come true with a budget of 30 million yen.

Wait, less than half the price of a newly built home? What does that look like?

For example, with a budget of 30 million yen, you might imagine:

• Buying a pre-owned condo near a station for 20 million yen
• Then using the remaining 10 million yen for renovation!

That’s the idea.

Ohhh, near a station! That makes it feel more realistic. But wouldn’t the monthly payments still be pretty high?

Actually, if you include the renovation costs in your home loan, the monthly payment is around 80,000 to 100,000 yen, about the same as rent. When you live in a rental, the rent you pay every month is money that disappears, right? But with a home loan, that amount becomes your own asset.

I see. The payments are about the same as rent, and it becomes your own asset. That’s really nice.

The Difference From a Newly Built Home, By the Numbers

I see! That’s reassuring. And it means we can choose a layout we like, right?

Exactly. With newly built homes, your choices for area and layout tend to be limited, but with a pre-owned home plus renovation, you have a greater chance of choosing within your budget a property near a station or a spacious layout.

Nishinomiya is such a popular area, so I hear there aren’t many newly built homes either.

With a newly built home, everything starts from zero, from choosing the land to construction, so it can take nearly a year until completion. But with a pre-owned property plus renovation, your ideal home can be completed in as little as 3 months!

I’d like to see what a renovated pre-owned property looks like. I heard there’s a model room here.

Yes, I’ll show you right away! You’ll be able to instantly picture what it looks like after completion, so please experience it for yourself.

So, together with interior coordinator Ms. Umehara, we’re going to take a look around the model room!
