Christchurch property market: common questions
Where is Christchurch?
Christchurch sits on the edge of Dorset, covering about 8 square miles.
What is the average house price in Christchurch?
The median asking price across the 665 homes for sale in Christchurch is £435,000 (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 £250,000 and £599,950. That is 16% above Dorset. Homes that actually sold in Christchurch went for a median £405,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Christchurch 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 Christchurch is up 34% over the last 10 years and down 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 Christchurch cheaper than Dorset?
No: asking prices in Christchurch are typically higher than across Dorset. The median asking price in Christchurch is £435,000 against £375k across Dorset: 16% above Dorset. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Dorset's; the gap opens further up the market.
How many homes are for sale in Christchurch?
665 homes are on the market in Christchurch right now, 127 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 Christchurch?
112 listings in Christchurch had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 17% of the homes currently for sale.
How much do flats and houses cost in Christchurch?
The median asking price for a flat in Christchurch is £215,000. 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 detached houses, at a median £650,000 across 158 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Christchurch?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Christchurch is £240,000, across 122 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Christchurch?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Christchurch is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £425,000 across 57 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Christchurch?
In Christchurch, homes that sold went for a median £413 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £411 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (665 in Christchurch), 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 Christchurch since April 2026.
- Dorset comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Dorset, 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.
