Shrewsbury property market: common questions

Where is Shrewsbury?

Shrewsbury is in Shropshire, covering about 10 square miles.

What is the average house price in Shrewsbury?

The median asking price across the 588 homes for sale in Shrewsbury is £275,000 (as of 4 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 £215,000 and £390,000. That is 8% below Shropshire. Homes that actually sold in Shrewsbury went for a median £261,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Shrewsbury rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Shrewsbury is up 52% over the last 10 years and up 6% 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.

Is Shrewsbury cheaper than Shropshire?

Yes: asking prices in Shrewsbury are typically lower than across Shropshire. The median asking price in Shrewsbury is £275,000 against £300k across Shropshire: 8% below Shropshire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Shropshire's.

How much do flats and houses cost in Shrewsbury?

The median asking price for a flat in Shrewsbury is £170,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £272,500 across 164 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (588 in Shrewsbury), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 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 Shrewsbury since May 2026.
  • Shropshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Shropshire, 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.
