Ipswich property market

Ipswich is in Suffolk, covering about 15 square miles.

The median asking price across the 1,015 homes for sale in Ipswich is £230,000 (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 £325,000. That is 27% below Suffolk. Homes that actually sold in Ipswich went for a median £240,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Ipswich is up 46% 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.

Yes: asking prices in Ipswich are typically lower than across Suffolk. The median asking price in Ipswich is £230,000 against £315k across Suffolk: 27% below Suffolk. 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.
