What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

Condo values per m² have risen about 3.4% a year over the past five years, faster than the 0.8% 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.

Lagging Osaka

Per m², condos here are 47% below the Osaka average. Ten years ago the gap was 19%, so Hirakata City has been falling behind the rest of Osaka.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 88% 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

80% 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 14% 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 ¥11.0M and ¥27.5M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 2.1% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025. Households still grew 2.3% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

11.4% of homes were empty in 2023 (14.2% for the wider area), and 4.6% 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 31.9 years of the area's median rent (¥52k a month), compared with 31.7 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.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 25% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (43% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

Official land prices are edging up

On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +2% in the year to January 2026 and +7% over five years. They are still 67% below their 1991 bubble-era level. 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, 39% are inside the worst-case flood zone (22% with expected depths of 3 m or more). 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: Hirakatashi Station area. These allow larger, denser buildings and give big projects financial support, so expect new offices, shops and housing to keep reshaping the area.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 19% 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 13 years old and half by around 13.Houses bottom out at around 25 years — House prices per m² drop about 55% from new by age 25, 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.

Condo price per m² by construction periodNewer buildings are pulling ahead — Buildings from the 2000s gained about 2.3% a year over the decade, versus 1.2% for pre-1981 stock. The market here clearly rewards newer construction. Pre-1981 buildings, built before the current earthquake standard, trade about 49% below 1980s–90s buildings.

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.
