What the data says

A long, slow decline

House prices per m² have been falling for a decade, by about 2.1% 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 86% below the Saitama average. Ten years ago the gap was 77%, so Yorii Town, Osato County has been falling behind the rest of Saitama.

Station distance barely matters

Houses 11–15 minutes from a station sell for similar or higher prices than those near one, which usually means buyers here drive or value quiet residential streets.

What a typical purchase costs

Half of all house sales last year were between ¥2.0M and ¥11.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 5.2% between 2020 and 2025 (−0.8% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 2.8 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers. Households still grew 1.6% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

14.9% of homes were empty in 2023 (9.3% for the wider area), and 7.4% 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 4% 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.

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.
