What the data says

The trend has turned down

After rising earlier, condo prices per m² have slipped by about 3.2% 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 54% below the Osaka average. Ten years ago the gap was 21%, so Takaishi City has been falling behind the rest of Osaka.

A modest station premium

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 7% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. The penalty for a longer walk is mild, so it is worth widening your search radius.

A family market

89% 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.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥11.8M and ¥25.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 3.8% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025. Households still grew 0.7% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

12% of homes were empty in 2023 (14.2% for the wider area), and 4.1% 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 23.2 years of the area's median rent (¥56k a month), compared with 31.7 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 60% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (43% 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 4.0 years of local income

Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥3.9m in 2023 (¥3.9m for the wider area). That is +13% since 2014. The median resale condo sold for about 4.0 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 rising fast

On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +3% in the year to January 2026 and +11% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Significant flood risk

Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 57% are inside the worst-case flood zone, 57% 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.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 26% less than a m² of condo, even though the house price includes land. If you need room more than convenience, a house buys considerably more space. That gap has widened over the decade as condo prices pulled ahead.

About this data

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.
