Property Market Overview
Peterborough's residential market is active and substantial, with nearly 20,000 sales recorded over five years. The median price of £247,000 sits noticeably below the mean of £278,391, suggesting a concentration of sales at the lower to mid-range while premium properties pull the average upward. Prices have grown by 17% over the five-year period, though recent months show some moderation from the 2024 peak.
Property Types and Price Differences
Detached homes command significantly higher values at £381,137—nearly three times the price of flats—and account for the largest share of transactions at 7,366 sales. Semi-detached properties occupy the middle ground at £241,720, while terraced homes average £202,109. Flats remain the most affordable option at £134,671, representing just 7% of all sales.
Price Trends Over Time
The market climbed steadily from 2021 through 2024, peaking at £288,672, before easing to £270,152 in the most recent year. This pullback of around £18,500 from the peak suggests the market has cooled slightly, though prices remain well above 2021 levels.
What Stands Out
The wide price gap between detached and flat sales reflects distinct buyer segments operating within the market. Recent transactions range from £170,000 to £325,000, indicating diverse housing stock and buyer profiles across different price points.
