Sold prices in Wales
Based on 102,747 sales recorded in the last three years (HM Land Registry).
The average house price in Wales over the last three years is £244,126, with a median sold price of £210,000 — below the ~£290,000 England & Wales norm.

Prices by property type

The most-traded type in Wales is terraced (33,859 sales, median £160,000), which tends to set the tone of the area. Flats (£142,000) and houses (~£228,495) trade well apart, so the headline figure moves a lot with the mix of what's for sale.
The Wales market: activity & mix
How busy the market is, and what kind of homes actually change hands.
* 2026 is a part year — Land Registry sales are recorded a few weeks after completion.
Around 37,963 homes changed hands in Wales in 2025 — in line with the area's average of roughly 43,927 sales a year over the past decade. The busiest recent year was 2021 (54,354 sales). Steady turnover means a reasonable flow of fresh listings through the year. 10% of recent sales in Wales were leasehold — almost entirely freehold. New-build made up 4% of sales, a modest amount of new supply.
