What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

House values per m² have risen about 4.1% a year over the past five years, faster than the 1.7% 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 Yamanashi

Per m², houses here are 11% above the Yamanashi average. The premium has grown from 4% ten years ago, so Narusawa Village, Minamitsuru County has been outperforming its surroundings.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥6.5M and ¥28.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 2.2% between 2020 and 2025 (−3.7% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 4.3 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers. Households still grew 5.9% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 49% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (40% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

Local incomes are close to average

Taxpayers here reported an average taxable income of ¥3.6m in 2023 (¥3.5m for the wider area). That is +25% 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.
