What the numbers mean
Reading the Stratford-on-Avon 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 Stratford-on-Avon 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.
Buyers with more at stake
With about one in 4 sales above £500,000, many buyers in Stratford-on-Avon are borrowing large sums. Their lender's valuer has to agree with the price, so an asking price that runs ahead of local comparable sales can unravel weeks after an offer is accepted.
Why down-valuations happenWhen sales complete
Completions in Stratford-on-Avon have peaked in March, November 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 Stratford-on-Avon 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 higher-value market
About one in 4 sales in Stratford-on-Avon is above £500,000, compared with 19% across England. At these prices a down-valuation or a survey issue moves the numbers by tens of thousands of pounds, which is when an independent view is worth having.

Stratford-on-Avon house prices: common questions.
What is the average house price in Stratford-on-Avon?
The median sold price in Stratford-on-Avon over the 12 months to July 2026 was £368,000, based on 1,991 sales registered with HM Land Registry. Half of the homes sold went for between £280,000 and £520,000.
Are house prices in Stratford-on-Avon going up or down?
The median sold price in Stratford-on-Avon is −0.5% compared with the previous 12 months. Over five years (2020 to 2025), the median has changed by +13%. 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 Stratford-on-Avon?
Median sold prices in Stratford-on-Avon over the 12 months to July 2026: detached houses £525,000; semi-detached houses £325,000; terraced houses £290,000; flats and maisonettes £180,000.
How many homes sell in Stratford-on-Avon each year?
2,525 homes sold in Stratford-on-Avon in 2025, +1.4% 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 Stratford-on-Avon 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.
