What sells in Manchester
Flats and maisonettes were the most common sale in Manchester, at 37% of the 4,196 standard sales between August 2025 and July 2026, followed by terraced houses at 30%. The median ran from £212,000 for flats and maisonettes to £400,000 for detached houses, so the overall figure of £260,000 depends heavily on which types happen to sell.
The mix of property types sold has stayed broadly similar since 2021, with no type's share of sales moving by more than two percentage points between 2021 and 2025.
How Manchester has changed since 2021
Recorded sales went from 6,737 in 2021 to 4,894 in 2025 (down 27%). The busiest complete year was 2021 and the quietest was 2023, with 4,558 sales.
The overall median moved from £225,000 in 2021 to £255,000 in 2025 (up 13%). The highest complete year was 2024, at £255,000. It did not fall in any complete year in the series. These medians describe the homes that happened to sell each year, so they are not a like-for-like measure of how much any individual property has gained in value.
By type, the largest change between 2021 and 2025 was for semi-detached houses (up 24%) and the smallest for flats and maisonettes (down 3%). Only types with at least 10 sales in both years are compared, and the same caution about recorded sales applies.
The 2026 row covers January to July only, with 2,080 sales so far, and is not used in any of these comparisons.
Postcode districts compared
Over the same twelve months, M20 (651 sales, median £357,000) was 37% above the council-wide median; M14 (183 sales, median £237,500) was 9% below the council-wide median; and M8 (132 sales, median £184,500) was 29% below the council-wide median.
Postcode and council boundaries do not line up exactly. 132 sales were recorded in M8, of which 129 fell inside Manchester. The district figures above cover each whole postcode district.
Sales inside Manchester from these districts make up 23% of the council area's 4,196 sales over the same period; the rest come from postcode districts we do not yet publish.
How wide the price range is
The middle half of sales in Manchester sold for between £197,125 and £350,000, with the upper end 1.8 times the lower. That is a moderate spread, so the type-by-type medians on this page are a better guide than the overall figure.

*2026 covers January to July only. It is not comparable with full years. Medians are shown where a year has at least 5 sales of that type, and those based on fewer than 10 sales are marked as a small sample. The overall change below uses complete years only.
The median recorded price in Manchester moved from £225,000 in 2021 to £255,000 in 2025, a change of +13%. Medians shift with the mix of homes sold each year, so treat this as a broad indication rather than a measure of any one property's value.
