Shirley property market

Shirley is in central Southampton, in Hampshire. Figures for Shirley cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

The median asking price across the 154 homes for sale in Shirley is £240,000 (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 £160,000 and £338,750. That is 7% above Southampton. Homes that actually sold in Shirley went for a median £279,950 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Shirley is up 47% over the last 10 years and down 3% 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.

No: asking prices in Shirley are typically higher than across Southampton. The median asking price in Shirley is £240,000 against £225k across Southampton: 7% above Southampton. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
