Gosforth property market: common questions

Where is Gosforth?

What is the average house price in Gosforth?

The median asking price across the 123 homes for sale in Gosforth is £285,000 (as of 4 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 £170,000 and £420,000. That is 54% above Newcastle upon Tyne. Homes that actually sold in Gosforth went for a median £293,250 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Gosforth is up 30% over the last 10 years and up 7% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

No: asking prices in Gosforth are typically higher than across Newcastle upon Tyne. The median asking price in Gosforth is £285,000 against £185k across Newcastle upon Tyne: 54% above Newcastle upon Tyne.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (123 in Gosforth), refreshed daily, as of 4 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 Gosforth since May 2026.
  • Newcastle upon Tyne comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Newcastle upon Tyne, 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
