What the numbers mean
Reading the Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne have been broadly flat, within 0.5% 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.
A wide spread of prices
The middle half of homes sold in Newcastle upon Tyne went for between £150,000 and £302,000. With a spread that wide, the overall average says little about any one home; what matters is what comparable homes nearby have sold for.
When sales complete
Completions in Newcastle upon Tyne have peaked in March, October and June 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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
Plenty of leasehold
31% of homes sold in Newcastle upon Tyne were leasehold, mostly flats. Lease length, service charges and ground rent all affect value and whether a lender will lend, so they deserve attention before an offer, not after.

Are house prices in Newcastle upon Tyne going up or down?
The median sold price in Newcastle upon Tyne is −0.5% compared with the previous 12 months. Over five years (2020 to 2025), the median has changed by +20%. 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 Newcastle upon Tyne?

How many homes sell in Newcastle upon Tyne each year?
3,633 homes sold in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2025, +0.4% 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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
