York Property Market Update – February 2026

The latest data shows the average UK asking price is now £368,019, virtually unchanged from January (down just £12). Now let’s bring this closer to home. The average house price in York is now £343,978, which represents a 1.1% increase year-on-year. That’s steady, sustainable growth, not dramatic spikes, but positive movement. However, the average time to find a buyer in York is now 86 days, which is 9 days longer than this time last year. That increase tells us something important. Buyers are active, but they are careful. And they have choice!
