What the numbers mean
Reading the Sherborne market, from both sides.
Figures tell you what has happened. What they mean for one home, and one decision, depends on the details.
If you are selling
Prices are rising
The median sold price in Sherborne is 3.1% higher than in the previous 12 months. A rising market helps sellers, but it also tempts asking prices ahead of the evidence, and the buyer's lender will value the home on recent comparable sales, not on hope.
When sales complete
Completions in Sherborne have peaked in March, September and August over the last four years. Sales usually take a few months to complete, so those peaks reflect offers agreed well before.
If you are buying
A rising market
Prices in Sherborne are 3.1% up on the previous year. In a rising market it is easy to stretch to win a home; the risk is paying more than a lender's valuer will support, which leaves a gap to fund yourself.

Are house prices in Sherborne going up or down?
The median sold price in Sherborne is +3.1% compared with the previous 12 months. Over five years (2020 to 2025), the median has changed by +9.0%. Averages move with the mix of homes sold, so a change of a few per cent can reflect which homes happened to sell as much as a change in values.
How much does a house cost in Sherborne?

How many homes sell in Sherborne each year?
347 homes sold in Sherborne in 2025, −4.1% on 2024. These are standard open-market sales at full price; repossessions, sales to companies and buy-to-let purchases that Land Registry can identify are excluded.
Why might a home in Sherborne sell for more or less than these figures?
These are medians across every home sold, so they mix flats with large detached houses and plain homes with exceptional ones. A single home's value depends on what comparable homes nearby have sold for, its condition and the market at the time. Sales also take weeks or months to appear in Land Registry records, so the latest months are still filling in.
