Bristol property prices
Over the last 12 months the average sales price in Bristol was £366,762.
33% of sales in the past 12 months were flats, achieving an average sales price of £274,826. Houses achieved an average price of £421,924.

The number of homes for sale is at its highest level for this time of year since 2015, with almost a third of listings seeing price reductions. Because of this, it’s more important than ever for new sellers to get pricing right from the start to avoid longer selling times.
Bristol continues to stand out as one of the region’s more resilient markets.
Supported by strong local employment, sustained demand and long‑term undersupply of homes. While price growth has softened, well‑priced properties are still attracting good levels of interest.
Market activity remains resilient, including among first-time buyers.

National outlook
According to the latest ONS UK House Price Index, the average UK property price stood at around £268,000 at the start of 2026, with annual growth of 1.3% and a small monthly fall of 0.3%, reflecting a softer start to the year.
More recent data suggests this trend has broadly stabilised. Annual growth was running at around 1.0% - 1.2%, with only modest monthly movement, indicating a market that remains steady. (ONS).
Portal and lender data highlight improving activity levels into spring. Buyer demand has picked up steadily in 2026, with house price inflation holding at around 1.3% and sales activity proving resilient despite global uncertainty and higher mortgage rates. (zoopla.co.uk)
Looking ahead, expectations remain for modest growth rather than a strong rebound. The latest HM Treasury compilation of independent forecasts (April 2026) and lender outlooks continue to point to house price growth of roughly 1% to 3% across 2026, supported by wage growth but constrained by borrowing costs and wider economic uncertainty.
