⚖️ This is a court foreclosure auction — not a normal sale.
The headline figure is the court's minimum bid (売却基準価額), not an asking price. Buying at auction means paying a deposit (~20%) up front, bidding during a fixed window, often being unable to inspect inside, and sometimes inheriting existing occupants. Read the court's 3-point set (三点セット) before bidding.

Investment snapshot
An indicative long-term rental estimate — to compare listings, not an appraisal.
Basis: 110.13m² × ¥950/m²/mo × 0.6 age factor (Yamagata) + ¥9M est. renovation. Gross yield = annual rent ÷ (price + est. renovation), before tax, vacancy, and management. Regional rent rates are conservative order-of-magnitude medians (public rent surveys), not a guarantee — rural demand can be thin. Always validate locally before relying on any figure.
Hazard & due diligence
Japan has real flood, landslide, and earthquake exposure that varies street by street. Check the official government hazard maps for this exact location before buying.
