Bury property market: common questions

Where is Bury?

Bury is in Greater Manchester, covering about 8 square miles.

What is the average house price in Bury?

The median asking price across the 255 homes for sale in Bury is £250,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £180,000 and £350,000. That is 7% below Greater Manchester. Homes that actually sold in Bury went for a median £230,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Bury rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Bury is up 72% over the last 10 years and up 4% over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Bury cheaper than Greater Manchester?

Yes: asking prices in Bury are typically lower than across Greater Manchester. The median asking price in Bury is £250,000 against £270k across Greater Manchester: 7% below Greater Manchester. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How many homes are for sale in Bury?

How much do flats and houses cost in Bury?

The median asking price for a flat in Bury is £130,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £185,000 across 74 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Bury?

The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Bury is £138,000, across 16 current listings.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Bury?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Bury is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £262,498 across 54 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Bury?

In Bury, homes that sold went for a median £253 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £258 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (255 in Bury), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Bury since May 2026.
  • Greater Manchester comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Greater Manchester, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
