EX3 local market report Exeter

Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,090 sales registered with HM Land Registry in EX3 (Exeter) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to May 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

EX3 is the postcode district covering Clyst St George, Ebford, Exton in Exeter. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

What a home in EX3 sells for

The 2026 median in EX3 is £425,000, from 25 registered sales; the mean, £495,500, sits well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £274,000, so EX3 trades 55% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical EX3 home went from £74,500 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 169%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 33% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the EX3 median

Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.

The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+47.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−18.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.

EX3 recorded 94 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 137 sales a year recently, against 137 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.

What homes rent for around EX3

EX3 falls under Exeter, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,314 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £912 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,917, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Set against the £425,000 median sold price, £1,314 a month is £15,768 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Will EX3 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers

EX3 ranks 23 of 33 in the EX area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.
