What the numbers mean

Reading the Gloucester 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

A flat market

Prices in Gloucester have been broadly flat, within 0.0% of the previous 12 months. Without a rising market to lean on, the asking price has to be justified by the home itself and by what similar homes have actually sold for.

More buyers about

Sales in Gloucester rose by 12% between 2024 and 2025. More activity brings more buyers, but they are also comparing more homes, so a home still has to stand out at its price.

When sales complete

Completions in Gloucester have peaked in March, August and October 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

Steady prices

With prices in Gloucester broadly flat on the year, there is less pressure to rush, and more reason to judge each home on recent comparable sales rather than on the asking price.

A busier market

2,001 homes sold in Gloucester in 2025, 12% more than in 2024. More activity means more competition for the best homes, and more chains for a purchase to depend on.

How many homes sell in Gloucester each year?

Why might a home in Gloucester 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.
