Niigata houses under ¥1 million

15 listings in Niigata (Chubu), from ¥10K with a median asking price of ¥600K. Every price is the seller's asking price; we don't mark it up, and our concierge fee is flat and separate.

At this price the location is doing all the work, so read the prefecture rather than the listing. Distance to a staffed station, whether the nearest hospital is a hospital or a clinic, and how far the snow line reaches decide both what the renovation costs and whether anyone will ever buy it from you.

Budget for the taxes and fees on top of any price here: work them out with the closing cost calculator. On cheap property they are a much larger share of the price than the usual rules of thumb suggest.

Who this suits

Buyers who want a foothold and a project, are realistic that the renovation is the actual purchase, and are not relying on resale value.

What to watch for

Demolition economics. Clearing the building loses the residential land tax exemption and can multiply the annual bill, so the cheapest route is rarely to knock it down.
