What the data says
The trend has turned down
After rising earlier, house prices per m² have slipped by about 0.6% a year over the last five years. That often reflects weaker local demand, so check vacancy and population trends before buying.
Outperforming Aichi
Per m², houses here are priced close to the Aichi average. The discount has shrunk from 10% ten years ago, so Higashiura Town, Chita County is catching up with its surroundings.
Being near a station is worth a lot
Houses within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 21% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.
Sales are thinning out
Transactions are down about 9% 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 ¥22.0M and ¥40.3M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A shrinking population
The population fell 1.3% between 2020 and 2025 (−1.2% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 4.6 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand. Households still grew 3.4% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.
Typical vacancy
8.8% of homes were empty in 2023 (11.8% for the wider area), and 4% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.
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 (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 edging up
On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +3% in the year to January 2026 and +16% 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.

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.
