Reading the Soka numbers
The ¥341K/m² median is the midpoint of 572 recorded home sales in Soka between 2023Q2–2026Q1, and half of those sales fell between ¥212K and ¥442K per m². That is 331.2% above the national home median of ¥79K per m², measured across the 1,684 municipalities with enough recorded sales to publish one. Against that, 1,262 home listings were tracked as of Aug 2026, and their asking prices come to ¥400K per m² once each location counts once, 17.5% above what the recorded sales say. 26.1% of those listings have already been reduced at least once.
The asking figure takes a midpoint within each location before taking one across locations, so a single bulk listing cannot set it. Asking prices and recorded sales are also different properties measured at different times, so treat the gap as where negotiation starts, not as a discount anyone is offering.
