whole market
In October, the vacancy rate in the five major wards decreased slightly, increasing by 0.2 percentage points to 1.34 times the active job openings-to-applicants ratio. The unemployment rate also increased by 0.1 points to 2.6%. Demand for offices continues, but with the news of the 8th wave coming out, there seems to be no sign of stopping offices. Although there are various external factors such as the strong yen and special demand for travel support, the movement of offices has not stopped so far.
Changes in products
Overall: ↓
Chair: ↓ -872 yen sales price drop…
Although the product unit price decreased slightly, individual chair needs remained high, and high unit price (around 30,000) chairs were popular. The sales volume is also increasing, partly due to bulk sales from corporations. Orders from small and medium-sized enterprises with a large number of customers were also seen here and there, and the demand for chairs was high.
Desk: ↓ -2,999 yen sales price increase…
Although the unit price decreased, the results were as expected. In particular, the revision of the selling price of free address desks was a factor, and along with that, the number of free address desks sold was the best month in this term.
Library: ↓ 1,646 yen selling price increase…
A slight decrease results. Inventory depletion trend in the used industry. In particular, good-selling products such as Okamura’s Rectoline had very little inventory even in the second-hand market. Locker: ↓ -551 yen sales price decrease…
Unit prices declined slightly (substantially remained flat). Many companies purchase personal lockers together with free-address desks, and most of them purchase either wagons or personal lockers. Table: ↓ -537 yen sales price decrease…
It remained almost unchanged from the previous month. The need for stack tables is higher than meeting tables, and we predict that the demand for stack types that can be moved flexibly will increase again in order to avoid crowding.

findings
In October, the vacancy rate decreased mainly in Tokyo, and the active job openings-to-applicants ratio continued to improve. Demand for used furniture from small and medium-sized companies was high, and purchases continued above a certain level. The price of the free address desk has been changed to match the market, and demand is expanding further. Towards the end of the year, there was an increase in purchases in large quantities, and I had the impression that many companies were positive about opening new bases, changing layouts, and making moves for replacement within the year. Since there are many requests from office design companies, it seems that the movement in the building is increasing, and it is predicted that the demand for used furniture sales will increase to some extent in the future.
