How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (90 in Marchmont), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Marchmont 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 Marchmont since March 2026.
  • Edinburgh comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Edinburgh, 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.
