Pontcanna property market: common questions
Where is Pontcanna?
Pontcanna is in central Cardiff, in South Glamorgan. Figures for Pontcanna cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Pontcanna?
The median asking price across the 58 homes for sale in Pontcanna is £320,000 (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 £246,250 and £450,000. That is 19% above Cardiff. Homes that actually sold in Pontcanna went for a median £325,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Pontcanna is up 30% 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 Pontcanna cheaper than Cardiff?
No: asking prices in Pontcanna are typically higher than across Cardiff. The median asking price in Pontcanna is £320,000 against £270k across Cardiff: 19% above Cardiff.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (58 in Pontcanna), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Pontcanna 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 Pontcanna since May 2026.
- Cardiff comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cardiff, 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.
