Reading by district: sharp rises near the station, moderate in the suburbs
Around Chitose Station (Sakaemachi, Hanazono, Midorimachi, Honcho)
This is the most expensive area in the city, with high rates of increase. Sakaemachi 2-chome rose from ¥44,000 in 2021 to ¥112,000 in 2026, and Hanazono 5-chome from ¥43,800 to ¥92,000. Both more than doubled in five years. If you own land in this area and still think of prices as they were five years ago, your idea of the price is far off.
Around Osatsu Station (Osatsu Ekimae, Hokuyo, Midoridai, Yumai)
Prices are ¥43,000 to ¥54,000/m², and the rise is a moderate +2 to 4%. Compared with the sharp rise around Chitose Station, this area is stable and easier for home buyers to choose.
Suburbs (Asahigaoka, Katsuragi, Hakuyo)
Prices are ¥21,500 to ¥36,000/m², an affordable range for the city. These areas are more than 3 km from a station, so you will need a car for daily life.
For landowners: official land prices are a “starting point”
Official land prices are the prices of standard sites as of January 1. The price you can actually sell for changes with how the land faces the road, the shape of the land, the condition of the building and the timing of the sale. The more an area is rising, the wider the gap between official land prices and actual transaction prices tends to be. Please check the current price of your land with a free valuation. We are a Tomakomai company, but we also handle sales and land inquiries in Chitose.
For buyers: use the difference in price rises in your budget
Even within Chitose, the price per m² differs by more than two times between the Chitose Station area and the Osatsu Station area or the suburbs. If you commute within the city or toward the airport, you can also choose a larger plot in the Osatsu Station area or the suburbs. If you tell us your preferred district and budget, we will show you properties, including those not yet on the market.
