Prices by ward in Kitakyushu
Kitakyushu is a designated city (政令指定都市), and MLIT publishes its transaction data separately for each of its 7 wards. The city-wide figures above average the medians of the wards that report each property type, weighted by how many transactions each one recorded: an average of medians, not a median recalculated across the whole city. Not every ward reports every property type, so the number of wards behind each figure varies, and is given below. Every per-ward figure in the table is measured. Three-year change is shown per ward only: each ward moved off its own prior-period base, so those changes cannot be summed into a single city-wide figure.
Wards behind each figure: Homes 7 of 7, Apartments 7 of 7, Land 7 of 7.
Median house prices per square metre range from ¥64K/m² to ¥190K/m² depending on the ward.
| Ward | House ¥/m² (median) | 3-year change | Transactions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moji Ward, Kitakyushu | ¥65K/m² | -19.9% | 147 |
| Wakamatsu Ward, Kitakyushu | ¥86K/m² | -38.3% | 169 |
| Tobata Ward, Kitakyushu | ¥186K/m² | +16.3% | 100 |
