What the data says

A long, slow decline

House prices per m² have been falling for a decade, by about 1.2% a year recently. Prices are low, but resale values are likely to keep easing, so buy here to live, not as an investment.

Lagging Osaka

Per m², houses here are 42% below the Osaka average. Ten years ago the gap was 13%, so Shijonawate City has been falling behind the rest of Osaka.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Houses within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 94% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥4.4M and ¥36.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 3.1% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% 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 1.9% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

15.5% of homes were empty in 2023 (14.2% for the wider area), and 5.4% 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 27% 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 +1% in the year to January 2026 and +3% over five years. They are still 63% 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, 33% are inside the worst-case flood 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.

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.
