Akiya for sale in Shimane

106 listings in Shimane (Chugoku), from ¥500K with a median asking price of ¥3M. Every price is the seller's asking price; we don't mark it up, and our concierge fee is flat and separate.

Vacancy rates vary enormously between prefectures, and so does what the local government will do about it. Many run an akiya bank and some attach relocation grants, renovation subsidies or tax relief to buying one, usually conditional on residency rather than ownership. Check the municipal office's terms before you assume a subsidy applies to 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 with a renovation budget separate from the purchase budget, and the patience to get a contractor's estimate before making an offer.

What to watch for

Road access and boundaries. A house without compliant legal road frontage may not be rebuildable, which caps its value permanently, and it is not something a photograph reveals.
