How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (169 in Carlisle), refreshed daily, as of 1 September 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 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.
