What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

House values per m² have risen about 4% a year over the past five years, faster than the 1.6% 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.

Outperforming Kanagawa

Per m², houses here are 20% below the Kanagawa average. The discount has shrunk from 27% ten years ago, so Ayase City is catching up with its surroundings.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥26.0M and ¥42.0M. 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 in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 3.7 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers. Households still grew 0.1% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Few abandoned homes

8.1% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.8% for the wider area), and 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.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 55% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (56% for the wider area). Check the building's earthquake standard (post-1981, ideally post-2000 for wooden houses) and consider earthquake insurance.

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 +3% in the year to January 2026 and +11% over five years. 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.

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.
