These are closed sales, not asking prices. A closing is a fact; a list price is an opinion. The trade-off is timing — a sale closes about seven weeks after it goes firm, so this describes deals negotiated roughly six to seven weeks ago rather than what is happening on the street today.

What to take from it

At 14.6% selling above asking, this is a split market — most homes negotiate down, a meaningful minority still draw competition. Which one you are in depends on the specific home, not the postcode.

Notes from the NestOnce a month I take the closed sales apart and write up what actually moved, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Tell me the area you care about and the letter follows it. →

Figures are computed from closed sales only and exclude records withheld from public display. A sale closes roughly seven weeks after it goes firm, so these describe deals negotiated about six to seven weeks ago. Neighbourhood and property-type figures are shown only where at least 150 sales support them.
