What is the average house price in Rochdale?

The median asking price across the 309 homes for sale in Rochdale is £270,000 (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 £180,000 and £400,000. That is in line with Greater Manchester. Homes that actually sold in Rochdale went for a median £195,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (309 in Rochdale), 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 Rochdale 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 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.
