What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

Condo values per m² have risen about 4.3% a year over the past five years, faster than the 1.7% 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.

Lagging Kanagawa

Per m², condos here are 12% above the Kanagawa average. The premium was 26% ten years ago, so the rest of Kanagawa has been catching up.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 37% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.

A family market

69% 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.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 20% 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 condo sales last year were between ¥28.5M and ¥59.5M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 1.1% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.5% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 2.5 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand. Households still grew 1.7% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Few abandoned homes

6.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.8% for the wider area), and 1.3% 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 40.7 years of the area's median rent (¥82k a month), compared with 34.7 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.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 38% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (56% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and 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 +3% in the year to January 2026 and +11% over five years. They are still 42% below their 1991 bubble-era level. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Little exposure to flooding

Very few of the official benchmark sites here fall in flood, tsunami or landslide zones, so most typical neighbourhoods are outside mapped hazard areas.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 7% less than a m² of condo, even though the house price includes land. If you need room more than convenience, a house buys considerably more space. That gap has widened over the decade as condo prices pulled ahead.

Price per m² by building age (2021–2025 sales)How condos age here — In recent sales, condos lose about a quarter of their per-m² value by around 7 years old and half by around 35. Prices keep falling by roughly 2.7% a year even after 25 years, so older condos here are cheap for a reason. Check the repair fund and rebuild plans.Houses bottom out at around 18 years — House prices per m² drop about 30% from new by age 18, then flatten, because by then buyers are mostly paying for the land. A house older than that costs little more than its plot, a good option if you plan to renovate or rebuild.

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.
