Poole property market: common questions
Where is Poole?
Poole sits on the edge of Dorset, covering about 17 square miles.
What is the average house price in Poole?
The median asking price across the 1,166 homes for sale in Poole is £335,000 (as of 20 August 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 £235,000 and £475,000. That is 11% below Dorset. Homes that actually sold in Poole went for a median £341,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).
How many homes are for sale in Poole?
1,166 homes are on the market in Poole right now, 356 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 Poole?
176 listings in Poole had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 15% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Poole?
Of the Poole 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 50 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 Poole?
The median asking price for a flat in Poole is £227,500; for a house it is £620,000. Use the property type and bedroom filters on this page for a finer cut.
What is the price per square foot in Poole?
In Poole, homes that sold went for a median £379 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £369 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,166 in Poole), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 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 Poole since November 2025.
- Dorset comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Dorset, 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 for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
