Oadby property market: common questions

Where is Oadby?

Oadby is about 3 miles south-east of central Leicester, in Leicestershire.

What is the average house price in Oadby?

The median asking price across the 126 homes for sale in Oadby is £349,975 (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 £270,000 and £448,750. That is 40% above Leicester. Homes that actually sold in Oadby went for a median £325,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Oadby rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Oadby is up 43% over the last 10 years and up 7% 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.

Is Oadby cheaper than Leicester?

No: asking prices in Oadby are typically higher than across Leicester. The median asking price in Oadby is £349,975 against £250k across Leicester: 40% above Leicester. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How many homes are for sale in Oadby?

126 homes are on the market in Oadby right now, down 22% since 1 Sept, 35 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

How long are homes on the market in Oadby?

Of the Oadby 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 41 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 Oadby?

The median asking price for a flat in Oadby is £127,500. 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 semi-detached houses, at a median £325,000 across 43 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Oadby?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Oadby is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £315,000 across 29 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Oadby?

In Oadby, homes that sold went for a median £326 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £314 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (126 in Oadby), refreshed daily, as of 5 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 Oadby since January 2026.
  • 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. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 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.
