What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

Condo values per m² have risen about 2.6% a year over the past five years, faster than the 0.3% a year of the five years before. Buyers waiting for a dip have so far been paying more each year, and that has not yet changed.

Lagging Shizuoka

Per m², condos here are 6% below the Shizuoka average. Ten years ago the gap was 5%, so Numazu City has been falling behind the rest of Shizuoka.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 52% 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 family market

75% 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 condo sales last year were between ¥9.5M and ¥22.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 5.3% between 2020 and 2025 (−4.5% for the wider area). More people moved out than in during 2025 (about 2.1 per 1,000 residents), which weakens long-term housing demand.

Typical vacancy

17.2% of homes were empty in 2023 (16.7% for the wider area), and 5.6% 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 25 years of the area's median rent (¥53k a month), compared with 25.2 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 85% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (72% 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 still falling

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 -5% over five years. They are still 52% 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, 42% are inside the worst-case flood zone (5% with expected depths of 3 m or more), 12% 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.

Government-backed redevelopment

This area includes national Urgent Urban Renewal Areas: Numazu Station area. These allow larger, denser buildings and give big projects financial support, so expect new offices, shops and housing to keep reshaping the area.

Median transaction price by year2026 so far: treat with caution — The 2026 figure (shaded) is 38% above 2025, but it covers only part of the year and 67 house sales so far. Early-year numbers are often revised and are easily skewed by a few large deals.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 36% 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)Houses bottom out at around 33 years — House prices per m² drop about 66% from new by age 33, then flatten, because by then buyers are mostly paying for the land. A house older than that costs little more than its plot, a good option if you plan to renovate or rebuild.

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.
