What the data says

Price growth is speeding up

Condo values per m² have risen about 7% a year over the past five years, faster than the 1% 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 Tokyo

Per m², condos here are 28% below the Tokyo average. Ten years ago the gap was 20%, so Chofu City has been falling behind the rest of Tokyo.

Being near a station is worth a lot

Condos within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 40% 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

53% 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.

Sales are thinning out

Transactions are down about 16% 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 condo sales last year were between ¥30.0M and ¥60.0M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A growing population

The population grew 1.2% between 2020 and 2025 (+1.4% for the wider area). More people moved in than out in 2025, a net gain of about 7.8 per 1,000 residents, so demand for homes is being topped up by newcomers.

Few abandoned homes

9.7% of homes were empty in 2023 (10.9% for the wider area), and 1.7% were empty without being for rent, for sale or used as second homes. Most empty homes here are rentals between tenants, not abandoned houses, a sign of a healthy market.

Buying vs renting

A median used condo costs about 49.7 years of the area's median rent (¥76k a month), compared with 39.4 years for the wider area. Prices are high relative to rents, so rental yields are thin and buyers are paying for expected growth. Rents here cover all rented homes, so treat this as a rough guide.

Moderate earthquake risk

The government's seismic model gives a 32% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (53% for the wider area). Post-1981 buildings are designed for this level of shaking, but check ground conditions and insurance.

Official land prices are rising fast

On the government's fixed benchmark sites, which are valued the same way every year, residential land prices changed +6% in the year to January 2026 and +25% over five years. They are still 43% 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, 48% are inside the worst-case flood zone (9% 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.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 15% 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)How condos age here — In recent sales, condos lose about a quarter of their per-m² value by around 13 years old and half by around 34. After about 25 years the decline nearly stops, so a well-maintained older condo holds its price. That makes 25–35-year-old buildings with sound repair funds a value sweet spot.

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.
