The typical asking price in Carlisle is £189,975, across the 138 homes for sale on 16 October 2026. That is the median: half of homes ask more and half ask less, so a few very expensive homes cannot drag it up. Half of listings ask between £121,238 and £284,750. That is 36% below Cumbria.

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Carlisle is up 44% over the last 10 years and up 6% 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 Carlisle cheaper than Cumbria?
Yes: asking prices in Carlisle are typically lower than across Cumbria. The median asking price in Carlisle is £189,975 against £295k across Cumbria: 36% below Cumbria.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Every listing we track across estate agents and portals (138 in Carlisle), refreshed daily, as of 16 October 2026. That is most of the market here but not every home, and we add more agents every week. 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 Carlisle since May 2026.
- Cumbria comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cumbria, 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.
