Poole property market

Poole sits on the edge of Dorset, covering about 17 square miles.

The median asking price across the 1,160 homes for sale in Poole is £340,000 (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 £240,000 and £495,000. That is 9% below Dorset. Homes that actually sold in Poole went for a median £344,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Poole is up 35% 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.

Yes: asking prices in Poole are typically lower than across Dorset. The median asking price in Poole is £340,000 against £375k across Dorset: 9% below Dorset. 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.

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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

The median asking price for a flat in Poole is £225,000.
