What the data says

A long, slow decline

House prices per m² have been falling for a decade, by about 0.7% a year recently. Prices are low, but resale values are likely to keep easing, so buy here to live, not as an investment.

Lagging Shizuoka

Per m², houses here are 76% below the Shizuoka average. Ten years ago the gap was 64%, so Higashiizu Town, Kamo County has been falling behind the rest of Shizuoka.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥2.3M and ¥8.1M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 11% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.5% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 9 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 68% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (72% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake insurance.

Local incomes are below average

Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥2.8m in 2023 (¥3.6m for the wider area). That is +24% since 2014. Averages are pulled up by a few very high earners, so a typical household earns less than this.

Median transaction price by yearA jump driven by what sold — The median house price rose 33% between 2023 and 2025. Per m², prices rose only 3%, so most of the jump comes from larger or higher-end properties changing hands, not from the same homes getting that much more expensive. With only 28 house sales in 2025, a handful of expensive deals can move the median a lot.

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.
