What is the average house price in Highfields?
The median asking price across the 210 homes for sale in Highfields is £166,500 (as of 20 August 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 £105,000 and £233,750. That is 32% below Leicester. Homes that actually sold in Highfields went for a median £220,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

How long are homes on the market in Highfields?
Of the Highfields 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 38 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (210 in Highfields), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Highfields cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- 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 Highfields since November 2025.
- Leicester comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Leicester, 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 for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
