SUUMO

SUUMO is a Japanese real estate and housing portal operated by Recruit, covering property sales and purchases, rentals, custom-built homes (注文住宅), land and renovation nationwide across regions from Hokkaido to Kyushu and Okinawa. Listings are organized by whether a user wants to sell or rent out a property (売る・貸す), rent (借りる), buy (買う), build (建てる) or renovate (リフォームする).

The site states that every listed real estate company has passed Recruit's screening (リクルートの審査済みです), and offers tools including a mortgage rate simulator, a glossary of housing terms, and comparison guides such as new-build versus resale housing and apartment versus detached house. A SUUMO Journal section publishes lifestyle articles, including recent pieces on relocating to an old farmhouse and a 25-year-old buying a grandmother's 50-year-old housing-complex unit.
