Gloucester property market: common questions

Where is Gloucester?

Gloucester is in Gloucestershire, covering about 12 square miles.

What is the average house price in Gloucester?

The median asking price across the 449 homes for sale in Gloucester is £240,000 (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 £160,000 and £350,000. That is 31% below the UK. Homes that actually sold in Gloucester went for a median £260,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Gloucester rising or falling?

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Gloucester is up 57% over the last 10 years and broadly flat 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 Gloucester cheaper than the UK?

Yes: asking prices in Gloucester are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Gloucester is £240,000 against £350k across the UK: 31% 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 Gloucester?

449 homes are on the market in Gloucester right now, 126 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

How much do flats and houses cost in Gloucester?

The median asking price for a flat in Gloucester is £140,000. 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 £212,500 across 102 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Gloucester?

The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Gloucester is £150,000, across 71 current listings.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Gloucester?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Gloucester is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £300,000 across 65 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Gloucester?

In Gloucester, homes that sold went for a median £289 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £277 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (449 in Gloucester), 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 Gloucester 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 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.
