Cardiff property market: common questions
Where is Cardiff?
Cardiff sits on the edge of South Glamorgan, covering about 33 square miles.
What is the average house price in Cardiff?
The median asking price across the 1,616 homes for sale in Cardiff is £270,000 (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 £185,000 and £400,000. That is 23% below the UK. Homes that actually sold in Cardiff went for a median £266,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Cardiff rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Cardiff is up 52% over the last 10 years and up 4% 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 Cardiff cheaper than the UK?
Yes: asking prices in Cardiff are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Cardiff is £270,000 against £350k across the UK: 23% below the UK. 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 Cardiff?
1,616 homes are on the market in Cardiff right now, 452 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Cardiff?

How much do flats and houses cost in Cardiff?
The median asking price for a flat in Cardiff is £170,000. 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 £285,000 across 382 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Cardiff?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Cardiff is £185,000, across 353 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Cardiff?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Cardiff is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £285,000 across 194 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Cardiff?
In Cardiff, homes that sold went for a median £303 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £305 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,616 in Cardiff), refreshed daily, as of 4 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 Cardiff since May 2026.
- UK comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of UK, 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.
