戸建て
kodateこだて
Detached house
A single-family detached house — normally sold together with its land as two registered assets, land and building. Because wooden houses depreciate steeply on paper, much of a kodate's value is in the land; this is why old houses barely add to (and demolition costs subtract from) an asking price.
