What the data says
Steady, predictable growth
House prices per m² have climbed about 0.1% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.
Lagging Fukuoka
Per m², houses here are 46% below the Fukuoka average. Ten years ago the gap was 32%, so Chikuzen Town, Asakura County has been falling behind the rest of Fukuoka.
What a typical purchase costs
Half of all house sales last year were between ¥9.7M and ¥25.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A growing population
The population grew 4.2% between 2020 and 2025 (−1% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 8.1 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.
Typical vacancy
8.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (12.4% for the wider area), and 4.7% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.
Lower earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 4% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (7% for the wider area). This is low by Japanese standards, although no part of Japan is free of earthquake risk.
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 +9% in the year to January 2026 and +36% over five years. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.
