What is the housing market like in Manchester?

Before you dive into getting a valuation on your own property, we’ll scour the Manchester area here to give you some figures to compare to, whatever your next move might be.

House prices

Average prices in Manchester vary according to the source, so here is a breakdown of where they stand at the time of writing in September 2025:

Of course, the average cost also varies between regions of Manchester, with the most expensive houses typically being in Didsbury and Chorlton and the cheapest in Harpurhey and Collyhurst. 

To the north east of the city centre in M4, you’re currently looking at £20,000 more than a property in Stretford, for instance, while if you head south to M15, the average asking price jumps to well over £300,000 (in the year to September 2025): 

Price by house type

To compare asking prices by house type in Manchester, you can use the asking price report from Home.co.uk and search for your specific area of the city. Here’s how the costs of house types stacked up on average across Manchester in the year to September 2025: 

Time on market

You can get a good indication of how the market is performing with ‘time on market’ data from Home.co.uk, too. This will arm you with some useful knowledge about how quickly your property is likely to sell if you do choose to put it on the open market. 

According to the latest data, there was a slight decrease in the amount of time all property types spent on the market in Manchester in the year to September 2025, with flats bringing up the average: 

How to get a property valuation in Manchester

When you book a valuation of your property, factors like size, location, condition, type and potential are taken into account, and these can vary wildly across Manchester.

A proper valuation is typically carried out by a Chartered Surveyor, who can do a RICS valuation (Level 2) and a HomeBuyer Report—if you use a Manchester estate agent, it will organise these assessments for you. A Level 3 Building Survey, for instance, which is the most detailed report you can get, will cost you £700 or more. This is necessary for legal purposes, such as obtaining a mortgage on a new property.

There are a few more ways to get a good idea of how much your Manchester house is worth—it’s best to get at least three estimates so you can find the average. 

Researching the market

You’ll no doubt have already searched Rightmove and Zoopla for Manchester properties to see what similar houses are going for in your area. Each site has house price information that it keeps up to date to give homeowners like you an accurate reflection of recent activity and what you might expect to get for your home, whether it’s in Chorlton or Oldham.

If you head to zoopla.co.uk/house-prices/manchester and scroll to the bottom of the page, you’ll see the average sold price in Manchester over the past year, which is currently £273,356, as mentioned above, according to data from HM Land Registry/Registers of Scotland. This is just slightly higher than the national average of £270,000, according to Zoopla’s House Price Index.

It’s worth monitoring pages like this and the Rightmove Manchester equivalent to help you estimate what you might get for your house. 

You can also dig into the open data available via HM Land Registry to add to your figures. Using the filters to search for properties sold in Manchester will help you with setting a figure and, if it comes to it, knowing when to reduce your asking price. 

Another good source for such data is Mouseprice, where you can see a five-year change in the average sold prices in Manchester:

Book estate agent viewings

You can also contact local estate agents in Manchester to come and take a look at your house if you show an interest in selling it with them. 

These in-person valuations can often vary quite significantly, since each estate agent will have different experiences with different areas and streets of Manchester, so it’s worth getting two or three in if you have time and working out an average.

You can ask them about properties they’ve recently sold in the area and how your house compares, as this can help you understand what you might need to change about your house before you put it up for sale.
