Real estate value
Some people say that the price of detached houses in Japan are close to zero twenty years after the house was built.
According to my sources, the above seems to be true. The price falls down to ten percent of the original price during the first two decades, and it decreases to almost zero next ten years.
The reason why I talk about this topic is because I feel sad that historical architecture can't be preserved for a long time.
Some people might say that it is just because there are a lot of earthquakes in Japan, and it is hard to maintain a house.
But, it is obvious that evaluation system has not changed for a long time though earthquake resistance has significantly been improved.
This issue could change people's lifestyle so that I hope that it will be resolved promptly.
日本の戸建て住宅の評価額は20年でほぼゼロになるとよく言われる。実際調べてみると、20年で1割、30年でほぼゼロになってしまうようだ。
なぜこんな話をするかというと、歴史的に価値のある建物を長年保存することが難しいという事実に悲しみを感じているからです。
日本は地震が多く住宅を長持ちさせることが難しいからだという人もいるかもしれない。
しかし、これは明らかに、建物の耐震性が大幅に向上したにも関わらず評価方法が昔と変わっていないことが問題だ。
これは人々のライフスタイルまで歪めてしまう大きな問題のため、早急に改善されることを望んでいる。

Personally I think "isn't" gets your meaning across better. Using "can't" would only be correct here if you think that there is no way to preserve these buildings, but based on the entirety of your entry I don't think this is the case.
Another way to word it would be: "The reason why I talk about this topic is because I feel sad that it is difficult to preserve historical architecture."

Good job! bfcool corrected everything else I noticed. My comment is only about word choice. The grammar of the sentence as you wrote it works.

This sounds better to me, though I cannot find a reference to a specific English grammar rule. If you want an interesting but lengthy explanation (in English) that I didn't even read all of: https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=523

Well done, and interesting topic! I wonder if this behavior is mostly from buyers' preferences to avoid older houses, as opposed to the materials or construction becoming worthless.

Thank you for your comment. Your opinion is also true.
Most people don't interested in older houses. Moreover, it is difficult for them to find an old houses because property brokers are reluctant to open these information to the market.
