NG23 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical NG23 home went from £70,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 128%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NG23 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 2002 (+34.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−13.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +0.4% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.6% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 69% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £376,000 against £168,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

How many homes change hands in NG23
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 221 NG23 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 365 sales a year before the financial crisis and 239 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Reading the NG23 market
Detached homes made up 63% of last year's sales, an unusually house-heavy mix that keeps the median well above what a flat or terrace here goes for. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. NG23 sits 2 of 29 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What homes rent for around NG23
The local authority for NG23 is Newark and Sherwood, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £545 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,285, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Newark and Sherwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £794 a month (£9,528 a year) works out at a 2.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in NG23 now
Everything above is what homes in NG23 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 36 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 4% below the NG23 median sold price.
Set against 221 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 36 homes on the market here are roughly 2 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
3% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Listed against sold: the NG23 mix
Sellers of detached homes in NG23 have company: 80% of current listings against 69% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 80% | 69% |
| Semi-detached | 20% | 22% |
| Terraced | 0% | 8% |
| Flats | 0% | 1% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (4 of them here).
The NG23 sales calendar
Across the 1,521 sales completed in NG23 from 2021 to 2025, June was the busiest month for completions (11.6% of the total) and January the quietest (6.4%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 98 | 6.4% |
| February | 116 | 7.6% |

The price of an extra bedroom in NG
Real sold prices by size across the NG area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £219,950 | £254,995 (+16%) | £305,900 (+20%) | £374,000 (+22%) | £440,000 (+18%) |
| Semi-detached | £165,000 | £186,000 (+13%) | £210,000 (+13%) | £267,995 (+28%) | £350,000 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £155,000 | £160,000 (+3%) | £170,000 (+6%) | £210,000 (+24%) | £250,000 (+19%) |
| Flat | £107,750 | £130,000 (+21%) | £180,000 (+38%) | £210,000 (+17%) | £322,500 (+54%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
