What the data says

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 house sales last year were between ¥8.1M and ¥29.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 4% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.5% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 5 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand. Households still grew 2.6% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Few abandoned homes

12.8% of homes were empty in 2023 (16.7% for the wider area), and 2.1% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. Most empty homes here are rentals between tenants, not abandoned houses, a sign of a healthy market.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 79% 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 ¥3.2m in 2023 (¥3.6m for the wider area). That is +13% since 2014. Averages are pulled up by a few very high earners, so a typical household earns less than this.

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.
