Where is Romsey Town?

What is the average house price in Romsey Town?
The median asking price across the 142 homes for sale in Romsey Town is £450,000 (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 £317,500 and £550,000. That is 6% above Cambridge. Homes that actually sold in Romsey Town went for a median £470,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Is Romsey Town cheaper than Cambridge?
No: asking prices in Romsey Town are typically higher than across Cambridge. The median asking price in Romsey Town is £450,000 against £425k across Cambridge: 6% above Cambridge. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (142 in Romsey Town), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Romsey Town 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 Romsey Town since May 2026.
- Cambridge comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cambridge, 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.
