[Assessed 137.2%] Detached house in Fujimi, Saitama — 9 min from Tsuruse Sta.

A used detached house in Tsuruse-nishi 2-chome, Fujimi City, Saitama, a 9-minute walk from Tsuruse Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. It sits in a flat residential area on the Musashino plateau west of the station; OpenStreetMap data shows a Tobu Store and Big-A supermarket in front of the station and a convenience store about 40 m from the centre of the block. Ikebukuro is roughly 30 minutes from Tsuruse on the Tojo Line.

The building is a two-storey wooden 3DK built in February 1969 (57 years old) with 41.25 sqm of floor area on a compact 43.00 sqm (registered) lot; it is vacant and the handover date is negotiable. Freehold, Category 1 medium-to-high-rise residential zone (60% coverage / 160% floor-area ratio), which limits the building footprint to about 25.8 sqm. The registered land category is forest, so a change of land category may be needed. ⚠️ The listing's road-access field says 'southeast 2.8 m private road' while the plot plan note says 'about 2.8 m Article 42-2 road (city road)', and the plot plan marks the setback strip between the lot and the road as owned by a third party. We read this as fronting the deemed-road portion of an Article 42-2 road, but if it is a private road the share and consent for passage and excavation are needed, and rebuilding eligibility must be checked. ⚠️ In the photo the house stands very close to the neighbour on the left; on enlargement there is a gap and the roof height and wall finish differ, so we judge it a separate building, but with only one photo the possibility of a split terrace house cannot be ruled out. The price is 5.8 million yen.

The FY2026 inheritance-tax road price is 185,000 yen/sqm (map sheet 26226), the most common band on local streets in Tsuruse-nishi 2-chome. The block number is undisclosed, but the 9-minute walk suggests the western part of the district, where the bands are 145,000-175,000 yen. Multiplied by 43.00 sqm, the land assessment is 7,955,000 yen; the 57-year-old building counts as zero, for an assessed ratio of 137.2%. Even the district's lowest band of 145,000 yen gives 107.5%. The road price has risen about 5.7% over three years (175,000, 180,000, 185,000 yen).

The 5.8 million yen price is below even the land value calculated at the district's lowest road price (6,235,000 yen), so rather than a bargain it should be read as a price that reflects the road-access rights, the adjoining neighbour, the land category and the need for demolition after 57 years. Photos show no step between the front road and the site and no retaining wall or stepped access. Before considering a purchase we recommend confirming on site that the road qualifies under Article 42-2, how the setback strip is treated, and that the house is not a terrace.
