Edinburgh property market: common questions
Where is Edinburgh?
Edinburgh sits on the edge of City of Edinburgh, covering about 45 square miles.
What is the average house price in Edinburgh?
The median asking price across the 992 homes for sale in Edinburgh is £316,750 (as of 6 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 £225,000 and £482,500. That is 9% below the UK.
Is Edinburgh cheaper than the UK?
Yes: asking prices in Edinburgh are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Edinburgh is £316,750 against £350k across the UK: 9% below the UK. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to UK's.
How many homes are for sale in Edinburgh?
992 homes are on the market in Edinburgh right now, down 14% since 2 Sept, 365 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 Edinburgh?
112 listings in Edinburgh had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 11% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Edinburgh?
Of the Edinburgh listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 62 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Edinburgh?
The median asking price for a flat in Edinburgh is £285,000. 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 £375,000 across 89 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Edinburgh is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £340,000 across 37 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Edinburgh?
In Edinburgh, current listings with a known floor area ask a median £378 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (992 in Edinburgh), refreshed daily, as of 6 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 Edinburgh since September 2025.
- 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.
