Your trusted update from Plymouth’s local property experts 🏡
The Plymouth sales market continues to show resilience as we move further into 2026, with steady price growth, increased stock levels, and encouraging buyer activity creating a market that remains active and balanced. While national uncertainty continues to influence sentiment, Plymouth continues to hold firm thanks to its affordability and consistent local demand 📈
🔹 House prices continue to rise – The average property price in Plymouth now sits at £237,747, representing a 2% increase year on year. Family homes continue to perform particularly well, with house prices rising by 2.5% to an average of £267,230, reflecting ongoing demand across the city.
🔹 A changing picture for flats – While houses remain strong, average flat and apartment prices have dipped slightly by 1.5% to £133,895. This could reflect changing buyer priorities, affordability pressures, or increased supply, but may also present opportunities for first-time buyers and investors.
🔹 Sales volumes need context – Transaction levels over the past 12 months are down compared with last year, but this is largely due to the exceptional spike in activity seen in March 2025, when buyers rushed to beat stamp duty changes. Removing that distortion reveals a far more stable underlying market.
🔹 More choice for buyers – There are currently 17.3% more properties available for sale across Plymouth compared with this time last year, giving buyers greater choice and creating a more competitive environment for sellers. Nearly 950 homes have come to market in the last month alone, signalling continued seller confidence.
🔹 Plymouth remains resilient – Despite wider economic uncertainty, Plymouth continues to benefit from relative affordability compared to other South West locations. The city remains attractive to first-time buyers, upsizers, and investors seeking value.
🔹 Pricing strategy matters more than ever – With buyers enjoying more choice, realistic pricing and strong presentation remain essential. Homes that are marketed accurately and presented well are far more likely to generate early interest and achieve stronger outcomes.
🔹 Market outlook – The outlook for Plymouth remains cautiously positive. Mortgage-rate pressures and wider economic uncertainty continue to shape sentiment, but strong listing activity and resilient demand suggest the market remains well-positioned as we head into summer.
