What the data says
Prices are still rising, but more slowly
Growth has cooled to about 2.7% a year, down from 6.9% a year in the previous five years. This looks more like a maturing market than a turning point, and it gives buyers a bit more room to negotiate.
Lagging Okinawa
Per m², houses here are 6% above the Okinawa average. The premium was 13% ten years ago, so the rest of Okinawa has been catching up.
A family market
76% 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.
What a typical purchase costs
Half of all house sales last year were between ¥35.0M and ¥65.5M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.
A stable population
The population was roughly stable between 2020 and 2025 (+0.1% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 2.8 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.
Few abandoned homes
7.8% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.3% for the wider area), and 2% 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.
Moderate earthquake risk
The government's seismic model gives a 21% 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 +5% in the year to January 2026 and +22% 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.
