However, in reality, even if the owner of Satoyama tried to sell the land with this value, developers tend to take advantage of the owner's weak position to bring down the price, and there are occasions where there is no purchaser and the owner has no remedy other than selling his farm lands and others by the piece, while maintaining the mountain forest that has practically no asset value (if the owner has no reserve, as he can not pay the inheritance tax, he is forced to become bankrupt).
しかし実際に所有者がその価格で売却しようとしても、デベロッパーには足元を見られて買い叩かれるか、場合によっては買い手が付くことさえ無い為、所有者は平地に持っている農地などを切り売りして資産価値の無い山林を持ち続ける（その余力も無い場合は相続税を支払えず破産する羽目に陥る）しか無いのである。
