What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

Condo prices per m² have climbed about 6.9% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Outperforming Kanagawa

Per m², condos here are priced close to the Kanagawa average. The discount has shrunk from 19% ten years ago, so Chigasaki City is catching up with its surroundings.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 33% 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

78% 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 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 condo sales last year were between ¥25.0M and ¥47.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 0.9% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.5% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 4.6 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.

Typical vacancy

9.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.8% for the wider area), and 3.6% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.

Buying vs renting

A median used condo costs about 44.8 years of the area's median rent (¥67k 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.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 67% 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 +4% in the year to January 2026 and +21% over five years. They are still 28% below their 1991 bubble-era level. Because these sites don't change, this is the cleanest measure of land value trends.

Some flood or landslide exposure

Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 29% are inside the worst-case flood zone, 18% are in a tsunami inundation zone. 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 price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 24% 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 9 years old and half by around 31. Prices keep falling by roughly 2% 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 17 years — House prices per m² drop about 28% from new by age 17, 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.

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.
