What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

House values per m² have risen about 5.2% a year over the past five years, faster than the 0.2% a year of the five years before. Buyers waiting for a dip have so far been paying more each year, and that has not yet changed.

Outperforming Shizuoka

Per m², houses here are 26% above the Shizuoka average. The premium has grown from 12% ten years ago, so Susono City has been outperforming its surroundings.

Station distance barely matters

Houses 11–15 minutes from a station sell for similar or higher prices than those near one, which usually means buyers here drive or value quiet residential streets.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 12% 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 house sales last year were between ¥7.0M and ¥37.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 7% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.5% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 5.8 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.

Typical vacancy

21.4% of homes were empty in 2023 (16.7% for the wider area), and 5% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm. About 7.7% of homes are second homes, which points to a resort or holiday-home market.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 64% 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 close to average

Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥3.6m in 2023 (¥3.6m for the wider area). That is +10% since 2014. Averages are pulled up by a few very high earners, so a typical household earns less than this.

Official land prices are still falling

On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed 0% in the year to January 2026 and -3% over five years. They are still 40% 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, 18% are inside the worst-case flood 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 transaction price by yearA sharp recent rise — The median house price rose 47% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 57% too, so this is a genuine like-for-like increase, not just bigger homes selling. With only 63 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.
