SUUMO Japan Rent vs Used Condo Asking Prices & Rough Yield

What it does: Compares advertised rents with used-condo asking prices on SUUMO for Japanese cities and wards, with a rough area-level gross yield for screening a city watchlist. Rental and sale samples contain different properties.

You enter: A 5-digit city code, e.g. 13113 (Shibuya, Tokyo), and rent / used condos / both.

You get: One summary per city/type: median rent or condo asking price, range, JPY/m² and rental deposit/key-money shares, from up to 60 listings each by default. Both types add an indicative yield row. Optional listing rows are off by default.

Price: $0.02 per city and property type — every city in a run is charged, and the default rent + condos = $0.04. The yield figure is free. No results = no charge. +$0.002 per listing if you also want the list.

Example: enter 13113 (Shibuya) → median rent ¥65,000 · rent per m² ¥3,799 · 76.7% ask a deposit · gross yield 3.04% · measured on 60 of the 75,005 rentals found

Choose your SUUMO workflow

• Compare rent with used-condo asking prices and rough yield: use this Actor with propertyType: "both". Each city returns a rental summary and a sale summary at $0.04 total, plus a free indicative gross-yield estimate. Rental and sale samples are different properties; the estimate is not a property's rental yield.
• Get one flat summary for a single market: use Rental Market Statistics by City or Used Condo Asking Price Statistics. Each costs $0.02 per city with priced results and returns no individual rows or yield.
• Inspect listings behind a comparison: enable includeIndividualListings in this Actor for the same bounded sample, at an additional $0.002 per delivered listing. maxListingsPerCity accepts 30–300 per property type.

Existing saved Tasks and API inputs keep their defaults, output and fees. This Actor still accepts propertyType: "rent" or "buy" for existing single-market workflows, at $0.02 per city and type.

These are sampled advertised prices, rather than completed transactions or a complete property inventory. SUUMO's reported total counts source advertisements and can differ from consolidated properties or rental-unit rows. Statistics use the sampled, priced rows. The default reads up to 60 listings per city and property type. Rental search selectors and used-condo canonical page selectors determine the source order; newest order is not guaranteed. Used-condo cities are resolved through public municipality navigation and checked against the requested city code. Pagination follows the source page size (currently 20 condos per page) until the requested sample or source exhaustion.

For larger feeds or another source comparison:

• Rental listing dataset: Japan Residential Rental Listings Bulk — SUUMO & Yahoo accepts one city per run, selectable SUUMO/Yahoo sources and up to 4,000 rows across those sources, with source-specific IDs and resume cursors. It has its own row-based pricing and bounded coverage.
• Condo sale listing dataset: Japan Investment Condo Sale Listings — Bulk returns up to 2,000 used-condo unit rows per run from Yahoo! Real Estate. Optional ownership-fee details cap that Actor at 100 rows; it has its own row-based pricing.
• Same-filter comparison across rental portals: Japan Rent Prices by Ward compares SUUMO with at home and needs both portals.

Refresh the same city watchlist

Save cityCodes, propertyType, sample size and listing option as an Apify Task, then schedule it at the cadence your research needs. Retain each run's dataset and compare summaries by cityCode, type and checkedAt. The type distinguishes rent_summary, sale_summary and yield_estimate; keep them as separate series.

Use the same settings between runs and record sampledUnits/sampledListings with the price statistics. A changing sample or mix of property sizes and ages can move the median without showing a same-property price change. A no_listings summary is a source-observed zero for that property type; failed acquisition is an error. This Actor does not store a historical baseline or identify new, sold or removed properties between runs. Each scheduled run uses the same summary and optional-listing charges.

Pricing — $0.02 per city and property type

Event	Price	When
Market summary	$0.02	Per city × property type (e.g. both = rent + sale = $0.04). Yield estimate is free.
Individual listing	$0.002	Only if you enable Include individual listings

A default run (1 city, both, summaries only) costs $0.04. You are never charged for a city that returns zero listings.

Input

Field	Example	Notes
cityCodes	["13113"]	5-digit JIS city/ward codes — see the table below. Full official list (Japanese)
propertyType	"both"	rent, buy (used condos) or both (adds the yield estimate)
maxListingsPerCity	60	Sample size per city per type (30–300)
includeIndividualListings	false	Enable to get each listing as a record
convertToUsd	true	Adds USD stats at the current exchange rate

Finding a city code. The code is the 5-digit JIS code: the first two digits are the prefecture, the last three the city or ward. Tokyo's 23 wards are consecutive:

Code	Ward	Code	Ward	Code	Ward
13101	Chiyoda	13109	Shinagawa	13117	Kita
13102	Chuo	13110	Meguro	13118	Arakawa
13103	Minato	13111	Ota	13119	Itabashi
13104	Shinjuku	13112	Setagaya	13120	Nerima
13105	Bunkyo	13113	Shibuya	13121	Adachi
13106	Taito	13114	Nakano	13122	Katsushika
13107	Sumida	13115	Suginami	13123	Edogawa
13108	Koto	13116	Toshima	13201	Hachioji

Outside Tokyo: 13209 Machida, 27127 Osaka Kita, 01101 Sapporo Chuo. Everything else is in the official list (Japanese, spreadsheet).

A code that does not exist is not charged. SUUMO answers it with a page that carries neither a hit count nor listings, and the run fails that city with the code named and a link to the list — it does not report a number for it. A city that exists but has nothing listed is a different thing: that is a free summary with areaStatus: "no_listings" and a one-line hint.

Output tables and JSON compatibility

The Overview table shows the rental statistics, condo asking-price statistics and rough yield as separate rows for each city. More about the area contains the supporting measures. Individual listings contains only listing rows and is empty when includeIndividualListings is false.

Raw JSON keeps the existing top-level fields, including type, cityCode, nested rentJpy/priceJpy statistics and optional listing fields. Summary and yield rows also include summaryView; listing rows include listingView. These additive namespaces contain aliases for the tables and CSV views, so prices remain numeric and summary rows do not appear as listings. They add no rows or charges. Existing API integrations can continue using the top-level fields. The table alias summaryView.layoutTop is display text; use the original layoutTop array for programmatic layout counts.

Output example (summaries, abridged)

Measured on 2026-07-24 (real run, Shibuya), abridged, plus the areaStatus field added on 2026-08-18 (that run predates it).

Use cases

• Investors / analysts: compare areas by rent level, ¥/m² and indicative gross yield, several cities in one run
• Relocation & proptech services: show clients what a neighbourhood really costs, including deposit/key-money customs
• Researchers: track rent and price levels across Japanese cities on demand

Notes & fair use

• totalListingsFound is SUUMO's displayed hit count and includes duplicate listings by multiple agencies.
• areaStatus says which kind of answer you got: ok when listings were sampled, no_listings when SUUMO answered for that city and had none (the record then also carries a one-line hint). A no_listings summary is not charged and its statistics fields stay empty.
• The yield estimate is indicative: rental and for-sale stock differ in size and age mix. It is not property-level analysis.
• This tool reads only public search pages, throttled, on demand. No login, no personal data.
