What the data says

A long, slow decline

House prices per m² have been falling for a decade, by about 4.2% a year recently. Prices are low, but resale values are likely to keep easing, so buy here to live, not as an investment.

Lagging Saitama

Per m², houses here are 57% below the Saitama average. Ten years ago the gap was 29%, so Sugito Town, Kitakatsushika County has been falling behind the rest of Saitama.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 25% 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 house sales last year were between ¥5.0M and ¥23.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 2.9% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025. Households still grew 3.4% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

10.7% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.3% for the wider area), and 5% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. The level of abandoned homes is around the national norm.

High earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 72% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (52% 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 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 0% over five years. 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, 100% are inside the worst-case flood zone (33% 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.

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.
