Land is the surprise
On the government's fixed benchmark sites, Chiba's residential land rose 4.4% in the past year and about 18% over five years, much faster than Saitama (9%) or Kanagawa (11%). Much of the growth is in Tokyo Bay cities and along the Tsukuba Express, where large plots for family houses are still available at a fraction of Tokyo prices.
Condos are accelerating
Condo prices per m² rose about 5% a year over the last five years, up from about 3% before. Urayasu, Ichikawa and central Chiba City are the most expensive. The fastest growth has been in Kamagaya (more than doubling), Inzai/Chiba New Town (about 63%) and Ichihara (about 56%), affordable areas where a few new condos can move the median. Nagareyama, one of the most popular family towns in the Tokyo area, is up about 36%.
A family market
More than 70% of condo sales are three-bedroom family homes and studios are almost absent. Chiba gained about 7,800 people from the rest of Japan in 2025, and households grew 3.7% between 2020 and 2025.
Condos lose value early
Chiba condos lose about a quarter of their per-m² value by 12 years old, earlier than in Tokyo or Kanagawa, and keep losing value after 25 years. Nearly new condos sell for more per m² than brand-new ones in the data, because many new condos here are in outlying areas while resales are concentrated near Tokyo.
Risks: the highest earthquake probability around Tokyo
The average Chiba resident faces a 63% chance of 6-lower shaking within 30 years, the highest of any prefecture around Tokyo. About 8.5% of benchmark sites are in tsunami zones along the Pacific and Tokyo Bay coasts, and reclaimed land around the bay suffered liquefaction in 2011. Across the prefecture, 5.0% of homes are abandoned, mostly on the Boso Peninsula and in outer rural towns.

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.
