What the data says

Steady, predictable growth

House prices per m² have climbed about 1% a year, roughly in line with the previous five years. There is no sign of overheating or a sudden slowdown.

Moving with Saitama

Per m², houses here are 34% below the Saitama 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 214% more per m² than those 16–29 minutes away. If budget is tight, a longer walk is the quickest way to cut the price.

A family market

71% 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 ¥9.9M and ¥34.0M. 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 (−0.8% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025.

Typical vacancy

10.9% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.3% for the wider area), and 5.7% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.

Lower earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 13% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (52% for the wider area). This is low by Japanese standards, although no part of Japan is free of earthquake risk.

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 +0% in the year to January 2026 and +1% 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.

Some flood or landslide exposure

Of the official land-price benchmark sites here, which sit in typical neighbourhoods, 11% 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.

Median transaction price by year2026 so far: treat with caution — The 2026 figure (shaded) is 56% below 2025, but it covers only part of the year and 38 house sales so far. Early-year numbers are often revised and are easily skewed by a few large deals.

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.
