Stoke-on-Trent House Sales Statistics (2026)

4,003 houses sold across Stoke-on-Trent in the last full calendar year, at a median price of £170,000. The figures on this page are worked out from Land Registry Price Paid records for postcode districts ST1 to ST6 — the actual completed sale prices, not asking prices or estimates — and they are current to 31 July 2026.

We publish these because we use them. Every indicative figure we give a seller comes out of the same records, so it seemed fair to show what the market underneath them actually looks like.

How many houses sold in Stoke-on-Trent in the last year?

4,003 houses sold across ST1 to ST6 in the 2025 calendar year — an average of 77 a week. In 2026, 1,215 had completed by 31 July.

Read the part-year figure carefully. Land Registry records a sale when it is registered, not when it is agreed, and registration runs weeks to months behind completion. The 2026 figure will keep climbing as those registrations arrive, so it is a floor rather than a total, and it should never be compared directly against a full year.

These are ordinary market sales only — Land Registry's standard-price-paid category, which excludes repossessions, part-exchanges, transfers between companies and sales at non-market prices. New-build sales are included.

What is the average house price in Stoke-on-Trent in 2026?

The median sale price across ST1 to ST6 is £168,000 for 2026 so far, to 31 July. For the last full year, 2025, it was £170,000, up from £160,000 in 2024.

Median, not mean, and the distinction matters here more than in most cities. The median is the middle sale — half of everything sold for less, half for more. Stoke-on-Trent has a long tail of expensive detached houses in the outer districts sitting above a very large body of terraced housing, and a mean average lets that tail drag the headline figure well above anything a typical seller would recognise. The median is the number that describes the ordinary sale.

If you want a figure for your own house rather than the city, an instant house valuation works from the sales in your own postcode sector instead of the city-wide middle.

Which types of house sell most in Stoke-on-Trent?

Semi-detached houses, by a clear margin — 1,824 of the 4,003 sales in 2025, or 45.6%. Terraced houses came second at 1,219 sales (30.5%), detached third at 797 (19.9%), and flats last at 163 (4.1%).

Median prices by type in 2025, same records:

• Detached — £280,000, from 797 sales
• Semi-detached — £175,000, from 1,824 sales
• Terraced — £125,000, from 1,219 sales
• Flat — £91,000, from 163 sales

Two things are worth pulling out of that. The first is the spread: a detached house sells for roughly £155,000 more than a terraced one, which is why a single city-wide average is close to useless for an individual seller. The second is that terraced and semi-detached housing together make up more than three-quarters of everything that sells here. Stoke-on-Trent is a terraced-and-semi market, and the housing stock is older than the national picture — which is why local sellers run into red ash floors, solid brick walls without a damp-proof course, and coal-mining history far more often than sellers elsewhere do.

Which parts of Stoke-on-Trent sell the most houses?

ST5 — Newcastle-under-Lyme — recorded the most sales of any district in 2025, with 1,073, and also the highest median price at £200,000. Sales and median prices by district for 2025:

• ST5 (Newcastle-under-Lyme) — 1,073 sales, median £200,000
• ST3 (Longton, Meir, Blurton) — 822 sales, median £180,000
• ST6 (Tunstall, Burslem, Smallthorne) — 721 sales, median £143,000
• ST4 (Stoke, Fenton, Penkhull) — 690 sales, median £165,000
• ST2 (Bucknall, Abbey Hulton) — 355 sales, median £165,000
• ST1 (Hanley, city centre) — 342 sales, median £130,000

The gap between the top and bottom of that list is £70,000 on the median — ST5 against ST1 — across districts a few miles apart. Volume tracks it loosely: the two cheapest districts are also the two smallest by sales count, which is mostly a matter of how much housing each district holds rather than of demand.

Are Stoke-on-Trent house sales rising or falling?

Volume fell slightly and prices rose. Between 2024 and 2025, sales across ST1 to ST6 went from 4,146 to 4,003 — down 3.4% — while the median price went from £160,000 to £170,000, up 6.3%.

Fewer sales at higher prices is the ordinary shape of a market where sellers are not under pressure to accept less, but there is a limit to how much should be read into a single year's step, and we will not stretch it: the records we hold run from January 2024, so this is one year-on-year comparison, not a trend. The 2026 part-year median of £168,000 sits just below 2025's, which is consistent with flat, but registration lag means that figure is not settled yet either.

One thing these records genuinely cannot tell you is how long houses take to sell. Land Registry records the completion of a sale and nothing about the listing — no first-listed date, no price reductions, no withdrawn listings. Any published "average days on market" for Stoke-on-Trent comes from portal listings rather than from sale records, and we would rather say what our source cannot show than quote someone else's number as if it were ours.
