What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

House prices per m² have climbed about 7.5% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Outperforming Chiba

Per m², houses here are 36% below the Chiba average. The discount has shrunk from 53% ten years ago, so Ichinomiya Town, Chosei County is catching up with its surroundings.

Sales are picking up

There were about 9% more transactions in the last three years than the three before, so the market is liquid and selling later should be easier.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥13.0M and ¥26.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 1.2% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.4% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 73.8 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand. Households still grew 2.4% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 58% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (63% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake insurance.

Median transaction price by yearA jump driven by what sold — The median house price rose 91% between 2023 and 2025. Per m², prices rose only 34%, so most of the jump comes from larger or higher-end properties changing hands, not from the same homes getting that much more expensive. With only 25 house sales in 2025, a handful of expensive deals can move the median a lot.

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.
