The typical asking price in Oldham is £210,000, across the 204 homes for sale on 16 October 2026. That is the median: half of homes ask more and half ask less, so a few very expensive homes cannot drag it up. Half of listings ask between £160,000 and £287,500. That is 22% below Greater Manchester. Homes that actually sold in Oldham went for a median £175,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Oldham is up 133% over the last 10 years and up 8% over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026).

Is Oldham cheaper than Greater Manchester?
Yes: asking prices in Oldham are typically lower than across Greater Manchester. The median asking price in Oldham is £210,000 against £270k across Greater Manchester: 22% below Greater Manchester.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Every listing we track across estate agents and portals (204 in Oldham), refreshed daily, as of 16 October 2026. That is most of the market here but not every home, and we add more agents every week. 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 Oldham since May 2026.
- Greater Manchester comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Greater Manchester, 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.
