The price in context

The nearest official land-price benchmark is about 24,700 yen per sqm, roughly flat over five years (24,700 to 24,700), which the survey classes as stable.

The asking price works out at about 3,232 yen per sqm of land, 87% below the nearest residential benchmark of about 24,700 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.
