What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

Condo prices per m² have climbed about 6.3% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Moving with Osaka

Per m², condos here are 20% below the Osaka average. That position has barely changed in ten years, so it moves with the wider market.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 47% 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 market for singles and investors

39% of recent condo sales are studios or 1K/1DK units, typical of rental investment and single workers. Small units are easy to rent but sensitive to new supply. Families will find fewer options.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all condo sales last year were between ¥14.0M and ¥22.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 1.4% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025.

Typical vacancy

13.4% of homes were empty in 2023 (14.2% for the wider area), and 4.4% 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 years of the area's median rent (¥59k a month), compared with 31.7 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.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 55% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (43% 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 +10% over five years. They are still 62% 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, 73% are inside the worst-case flood zone (9% with expected depths of 3 m or more), 100% 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 40% 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 12 years old and half by around 21. Prices keep falling by roughly 2.5% a year even after 25 years, so older condos here are cheap for a reason. Check the repair fund and rebuild plans.

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.
