Canton property market: common questions
Where is Canton?
Canton is about 2 miles south-west of central Cardiff, in South Glamorgan. Figures for Canton cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Canton?
The median asking price across the 110 homes for sale in Canton is £305,000 (as of 4 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 £249,963 and £400,000. That is 13% above Cardiff. Homes that actually sold in Canton went for a median £305,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Canton rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Canton is up 45% over the last 10 years and down 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Canton cheaper than Cardiff?
No: asking prices in Canton are typically higher than across Cardiff. The median asking price in Canton is £305,000 against £270k across Cardiff: 13% above Cardiff. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value.

How much do flats and houses cost in Canton?
The median asking price for a flat in Canton is £247,475. 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 £385,000 across 45 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Canton?

What is the price per square foot in Canton?
In Canton, homes that sold went for a median £326 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £353 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (110 in Canton), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Canton cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- 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 Canton since May 2026.
- Cardiff comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cardiff, 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
