Norwich market report NR
The standing NR (Norwich) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 438,307 registered sales in the NR postcode area (Norwich) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to August 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 5,187 registered 2026 sales put the the NR postcode area (Norwich) median at £265,000, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £295,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,210 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 438,307 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The figures for NR centred on Norwich run across 35 districts, the broad sweep by design. For a specific place, drop down to its district report below.

NR sold prices: where the market stands
5,187 sales were registered in NR in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £265,000. The mean works out at £295,900, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
Price per square metre in NR
A square metre of NR home has cost about £3,210 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts NR 7% below the country at large.

| 1995 | £47,500 | £103,258 | 11,275 |
In cash terms the typical NR home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £265,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR 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 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −2.9% | −5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.7% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £360,000 against £150,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 9,393 NR 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 16,939 sales a year before the financial crisis and 10,768 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around NR
The local authority for NR is North Norfolk, the local authority covering most of the NR area (parts fall under Norwich and Broadland, where rents differ), and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £860 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £619 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,349 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Norfolk
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£860 a month is £10,320 a year, which against the £265,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the NR market
NR is a liquid market by any standard, with 9,393 sales in the last twelve months of data. Figures built on that many transactions move because the market moves, and for no other reason.
NR (Norwich): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in NR (Norwich)?
Are property prices falling in NR (Norwich)?
Is NR (Norwich) a good place to buy a house?
Are NR prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
NR's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in NR sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 2,001 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 6% above the NR median sold price.
Set against 9,393 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 2,001 homes on the market here are roughly 3 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
15% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Cromer Road, Mundesley, Norwich
- The Corner House, 2-4 Cromer Road, Mundesley, Norwich
- North Walsham Road, Trunch, Norfolk
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

The NR sales calendar
March is when NR changes hands most (10.9% of the 65,621 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.8%. 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 | 4,463 | 6.8% |
| February | 4,985 | 7.6% |

| April | 4,477 | 6.8% |

Moving up a bedroom in NR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NR area. 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 | £252,750 | £285,000 (+13%) | £325,000 (+14%) | £409,250 (+26%) | £528,000 (+29%) |
| Semi-detached | £197,500 | £227,000 (+15%) | £255,125 (+12%) | £305,000 (+20%) | £375,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £165,000 | £205,000 (+24%) | £220,000 (+7%) | £280,000 (+27%) | £375,000 (+34%) |
| Flat | £125,000 | £160,200 (+28%) | £310,000 (+94%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

Selling in NR? Start from the sold record
Ground the asking price in real sold prices first. The average prices map gives a rough value in a minute: start at NR's shading and zoom to the sold homes on the street itself. Agents work from this same Land Registry record when they value; this page puts it in front of you before they arrive.

Two maps carry on from here: every NR sale at its exact address, and the average prices map from area shading down to single homes. The report tool answers a specific question in writing, and each sale's mortgage and rent calculator prices a real purchase.
Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
