What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

Condo prices per m² have climbed about 6.4% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Outperforming Aichi

Per m², condos here are 83% above the Aichi average. The premium has grown from 58% ten years ago, so Higashi Ward, Nagoya City has been outperforming its surroundings.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 13% 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 mixed market

Condo sales are split between small units (25%) and family-sized homes (39%), so the market serves both investors and owner-occupiers.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥18.0M and ¥43.5M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 7.4% between 2020 and 2025 (−1.2% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 6.1 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.

Few abandoned homes

17% of homes were empty in 2023 (11.8% for the wider area), and 2.8% 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.

Buying vs renting

A median used condo costs about 35.9 years of the area's median rent (¥70k a month), compared with 30 years for the wider area. Prices are high relative to rents, so rental yields are thin and buyers are paying for expected growth. Rents here cover all rented homes, so treat this as a rough guide.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 44% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (56% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

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 +6% in the year to January 2026 and +33% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Little exposure to flooding

Very few of the official benchmark sites here fall in flood, tsunami or landslide zones, so most typical neighbourhoods are outside mapped hazard areas.

Median transaction price by yearA sharp recent rise — The median house price rose 29% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 23% too, so this is a genuine like-for-like increase, not just bigger homes selling. With only 29 house sales in 2025, a handful of expensive deals can move the median a lot.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 32% 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.
