Northampton property market: common questions
Where is Northampton?
Northampton is in Northamptonshire, covering about 25 square miles.
What is the average house price in Northampton?
The median asking price across the 1,074 homes for sale in Northampton is £240,000 (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 £179,996 and £332,250. That is 17% below Northamptonshire. Homes that actually sold in Northampton went for a median £260,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Northampton 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 Northampton is up 57% over the last 10 years and broadly flat 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.
Is Northampton cheaper than Northamptonshire?
Yes: asking prices in Northampton are typically lower than across Northamptonshire. The median asking price in Northampton is £240,000 against £290k across Northamptonshire: 17% below Northamptonshire. 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 Northampton?
1,074 homes are on the market in Northampton right now, down 6% since 31 Aug, 274 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Northampton?
213 listings in Northampton had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 20% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Northampton?
Of the Northampton 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 59 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 much do flats and houses cost in Northampton?
The median asking price for a flat in Northampton 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 £230,000 across 319 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Northampton?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Northampton is £155,000, across 196 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Northampton?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Northampton is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £235,000 across 136 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Northampton?
In Northampton, homes that sold went for a median £291 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £266 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,074 in Northampton), 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 Northampton since March 2026.
- Northamptonshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Northamptonshire, 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.
