What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

Condo values per m² have risen about 6.3% a year over the past five years, faster than the 3.1% 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.

Moving with Aichi

Per m², condos here are priced close to the Aichi average. That position has barely changed in ten years, so it moves with the wider market.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 16% 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 family market

68% of recent condo sales have three or more bedrooms. Demand comes mainly from owner-occupier families, which tends to make prices steadier but rental yields lower.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥16.8M and ¥27.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 2% between 2020 and 2025 (−1.2% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025. Households still grew 2.5% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Few abandoned homes

13.6% of homes were empty in 2023 (11.8% for the wider area), and 2.7% 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 33.2 years of the area's median rent (¥55k 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.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 73% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (56% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake 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 +2% in the year to January 2026 and +15% over five years. They are still 41% below their 1991 bubble-era level. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Significant flood risk

Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 100% are inside the worst-case flood zone (10% with expected depths of 3 m or more), 79% are in a tsunami inundation 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 condo price rose 29% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 24% too, so this is a genuine like-for-like increase, not just bigger homes selling. With only 64 condo sales in 2025, a handful of expensive deals can move the median a lot.

Median price per m² by yearHouses and condos cost about the same per m² — A m² of house floor costs roughly the same as a m² of condo, even though the house includes its land. That usually means land here is expensive, so a house is not a cheap way to get more space.

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.
