What the data says

The trend has turned down

After rising earlier, house prices per m² have slipped by about 7% a year over the last five years. That often reflects weaker local demand, so check vacancy and population trends before buying.

Lagging Hiroshima

Per m², houses here are 65% below the Hiroshima average. Ten years ago the gap was 49%, so Miyoshi City has been falling behind the rest of Hiroshima.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Houses within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 139% 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 13% 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 ¥1.9M and ¥31.5M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 8.1% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.2% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 2.9 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.

Many abandoned homes

23.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (15.8% for the wider area), and 14.4% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. That is a high share of truly abandoned homes (akiya), a sign of weak demand. Cheap houses are easy to find, but resale can be slow.

Lower earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 3% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (29% for the wider area). This is low by Japanese standards, although no part of Japan is free of earthquake risk.

Official land prices are still falling

On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed -1% in the year to January 2026 and -7% over five years. 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, 64% are inside the worst-case flood zone (46% with expected depths of 3 m or more). 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 jump driven by what sold — The median house price rose 76% between 2023 and 2025. Per m², prices rose only 30%, 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 47 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.
