About this home

Nine rooms across a single floor on 1,181 sqm near Yatsushiro; the bones are there for two generations or a serious renovation, though it's 35 minutes walk to Arisa station and the wood frame will need eyes on it.

The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 9,400 yen per sqm, up about 13% over five years (8,300 to 9,400), which the survey classes as rising.

The asking price works out at about 11,002 yen per sqm of land, 35% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 17,000 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.
