負ふ動どう産さん

noun

unsellable property; real estate with negative value

Jocular term playing on 不動産 (real estate). Refers to property that is a burden rather than an asset, often because it cannot be sold or costs more to maintain than it is worth.

• 田舎いなかの空あき家やは負ふ動どう産さんになりかねない。

  A vacant house in the countryside can easily become an unsellable property.

• 相そう続ぞくした土と地ちが負ふ動どう産さんで、固こ定てい資し産さん税ぜいだけがかさむ。

  The inherited land is a negative-value property, and only the property tax keeps piling up.
