What the data says
Steady, predictable growth
Condo prices per m² have climbed about 3.3% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.
Moving with Mie
Per m², condos here are priced close to the Mie average. That position has barely changed in ten years, so it moves with the wider market.
Being near a station is worth a lot
Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 33% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.
A family market
84% of recent condo sales have three or more bedrooms. Demand comes mainly from owner-occupier families, which tends to make prices steadier but rental yields lower.
Sales are thinning out
Transactions are down about 17% on the previous three years. Fewer sales mean less choice and slower resale, so allow more time to sell later.
What a typical purchase costs
Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥14.8M and ¥28.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A stable population
The population was roughly stable between 2020 and 2025 (−4.3% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 2.8 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.
Typical vacancy
11.9% of homes were empty in 2023 (16.3% for the wider area), and 6.8% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.
Buying vs renting
A median used condo costs about 29.4 years of the area's median rent (¥55k a month), compared with 33.3 years for the wider area. That is a middle-of-the-road ratio for Japan. Rents here cover all rented homes, so treat this as a rough guide.
High earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 71% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (63% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake insurance.
A typical condo costs 5.1 years of local income
Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥3.9m in 2023 (¥3.6m for the wider area). That is +15% since 2014. The median resale condo sold for about 5.1 times that, against 5.6 times for the wider area. A higher multiple means prices lean more on buyers from outside the area or on two incomes. Averages are pulled up by a few very high earners, so a typical household earns less than this.
Official land prices are edging up
On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +1% in the year to January 2026 and +3% over five years. They are still 38% below their 1991 bubble-era level. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.
Some flood or landslide exposure
Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 48% are inside the worst-case flood zone, 18% are in a tsunami inundation zone. Most worst-case flood zones are shallow (under 0.5 m) at the edges, so depth matters as much as the share. Check the hazard map for any specific address before buying.
