What the data says

The trend has turned down

After rising earlier, condo prices per m² have slipped by about 0.6% a year over the last five years. That often reflects weaker local demand, so check vacancy and population trends before buying.

Lagging Osaka

Per m², condos here are 81% below the Osaka average. Ten years ago the gap was 64%, so Osakasayama City has been falling behind the rest of Osaka.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 55% 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

67% 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 picking up

There were about 9% more transactions in the last three years than the three before, so the market is liquid and selling later should be easier.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥2.5M and ¥12.3M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 1.6% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025.

Typical vacancy

12% of homes were empty in 2023 (14.2% for the wider area), and 6.3% 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 7.7 years of the area's median rent (¥53k a month), compared with 31.7 years for the wider area. Prices are low relative to rents, which points to higher rental yields, but often also to weaker growth prospects. Rents here cover all rented homes, so treat this as a rough guide.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 24% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (43% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

A typical condo costs 1.2 years of local income

Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥4.1m in 2023 (¥3.9m for the wider area). That is +13% since 2014. The median resale condo sold for about 1.2 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 +5% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Little exposure to flooding

Very few of the official benchmark sites here fall in flood, tsunami or landslide zones, so most typical neighbourhoods are outside mapped hazard areas.

Figures are medians of real transactions reported to Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) through its quarterly price survey. House prices per m² divide the total price (land and building) by the floor area. Medians based on fewer than 20 sales are not shown. The latest quarters are preliminary and are revised as more survey responses arrive.
