What the data says

The trend has turned down

After rising earlier, condo prices per m² have slipped by about 1.7% a year over the last five years. That often reflects weaker local demand, so check vacancy and population trends before buying.

Lagging Kanagawa

Per m², condos here are 40% below the Kanagawa average. Ten years ago the gap was 10%, so Midori Ward, Sagamihara City has been falling behind the rest of Kanagawa.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 89% 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

56% 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 18% 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 ¥8.1M and ¥35.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 2.9% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.5% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 2.5 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers. Households still grew 2.8% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

8.8% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.8% for the wider area), and 4.1% 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 24.2 years of the area's median rent (¥64k a month), compared with 34.7 years for the wider area. That is a middle-of-the-road ratio for Japan. Rents here cover all rented homes, so treat this as a rough guide.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 45% 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 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 +15% over five years. They are still 26% 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, 6% are in a landslide warning area. 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.

Government-backed redevelopment

This area includes national Urgent Urban Renewal Areas: Hashimoto and Sagamihara Station areas. These allow larger, denser buildings and give big projects financial support, so expect new offices, shops and housing to keep reshaping the area.

Median transaction price by yearA sharp recent rise — The median house price rose 55% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 59% too, so this is a genuine like-for-like increase, not just bigger homes selling.2026 so far: treat with caution — The 2026 figure (shaded) is 62% above 2025, but it covers only part of the year and 20 condo sales so far. Early-year numbers are often revised and are easily skewed by a few large deals.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 16% 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 narrowed over the decade as house prices caught up.

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 11 years old and half by around 11.Houses bottom out at around 15 years — House prices per m² drop about 34% from new by age 15, 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.
