What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

House prices per m² have climbed about 7.3% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Outperforming Okinawa

Per m², houses here are 6% above the Okinawa average. The premium has grown from 9% ten years ago, so Nago City has been outperforming its surroundings.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 15% 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 ¥30.5M and ¥77.5M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 4% between 2020 and 2025 (+0.1% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 6.6 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.

Typical vacancy

9.6% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.3% for the wider area), and 4% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 30% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (22% 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 +4% in the year to January 2026 and +10% 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, 67% 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 transaction price by yearA sharp recent rise — The median house price rose 44% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 36% too, so this is a genuine like-for-like increase, not just bigger homes selling. With only 50 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.
