What the data says

The trend has turned down

After rising earlier, house prices per m² have slipped by about 2.2% a year over the last five years. That often reflects weaker local demand, so check vacancy and population trends before buying.

Moving with Tottori

Per m², houses here are 12% above the Tottori average. That position has barely changed in ten years, so it moves with the wider market.

A modest station premium

Houses within a 5-minute walk of a station sell for about 1% more per m² than those 11–15 minutes away. The penalty for a longer walk is mild, so it is worth widening your search radius.

A family market

67% 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 10% 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 ¥5.1M and ¥26.8M. Listings outside that range are either unusual properties or worth a closer look.

A shrinking population

The population fell 2.8% between 2020 and 2025 (−5.4% for the wider area). Moves in and out roughly balanced in 2025. Households still grew 1.9% as people live in smaller households, which supports demand for smaller homes even as the population shrinks.

Typical vacancy

16.3% of homes were empty in 2023 (15.8% for the wider area), and 7.7% 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 11% chance of shaking of intensity 6-lower or stronger in the next 30 years (8% 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. 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, 56% are inside the worst-case flood zone (4% 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 transaction price by yearA sharp recent rise — The median condo price rose 36% between 2023 and 2025. Prices per m² rose 47% too, so this is a genuine like-for-like increase, not just bigger homes selling. With only 26 condo sales in 2025, a handful of expensive deals can move the median a lot.

Median price per m² by yearHouses are the better deal on space — A m² of house floor space costs about 57% 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 27 years — House prices per m² drop about 68% from new by age 27, 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.
