About this home

Three minutes from Tsugaru Goshogawara station on the Tsugaru Line; a 1968 two-storey wood house with floor damage that will need attention, but the bones and position are there.

Draft summary from the listing, not yet reviewed by a founder.

From the listing

Remarks: Repair needs may vary depending on how the customer feels after viewing, but overall the floor damage and warping are concerning. The property is delivered in its current condition (as-is), and the seller bears no liability for defects of any kind. The seller will not conduct boundary confirmation surveys or measurements; if desired, costs fall on the buyer. The building's current floor area is approximately 8 m² larger than the registered area, but the seller will bear the cost of re-registration before delivery. Unnecessary furnishings and items inside will be disposed of at the seller's expense. This property has no history of incidents or accidents that would affect the sale decision.

The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 20,400 yen per sqm, up about 13% over five years (18,100 to 20,400), which the survey classes as rising.

The asking price works out at about 12,141 yen per sqm of land, 40% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 20,400 yen per sqm. The benchmark is for bare land; akiya prices usually bundle a worn building, so a large gap is normal and does not by itself mean a bargain.

Area and hazard data

2 checks clear, 4 to know about. Each check is against a government map for this exact point. Where a map is missing or we can't use it, we say so; that never means there's no risk.

Hazards and ground
Earthquake code
Caution
Built before the 1981 earthquake code. Expect a structural survey, harder mortgages, and a retrofit budget; towns often grant part of that cost.

Source: Estimated from year built

Strong-earthquake chance
Note
About 12% chance of a strong quake (shindo 6-lower or above) in 30 years, mid-range for Japan, where most places sit between 3% and 26%

Landslide risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated landslide zone at this location. Zone edges are approximate, and this is not a legal property disclosure document.

Source: Government hazard map

Flood risk
Caution
Within a mapped flood area, water 0.5 to 3 m

Tsunami risk
Checked, clear
Checked: no designated tsunami inundation zone at this location

Liquefaction
Caution
High liquefaction susceptibility. A ground survey should be part of any purchase.

A pre-1981 build predates Japan's current earthquake code, which can matter for insurance and renovation. We flag the era from the year built where we have it.
