The average property price in Harrogate is approximately £307,700. This figure reflects a small year-on-year increase of a little under 1%
AUTUMN 2025
Residential market activity is slowly beginning to bounce back toward normal levels following the April 1st stamp duty changes. However, two factors: general economic uncertainty and global geopolitical concerns, are slightly dampening the market and restraining growth. The primary constraint is stretched affordability, as wage growth has lagged behind house price increases over the last 5-10 years. Nevertheless, buyer demand remains resilient. Given the expectation of at least one more interest rate cut in the next 6-12 months, we forecast consistent sales and price growth at a more sustainable rate of 1.5-2.5% in 2026.
In the wider North Yorkshire county, price growth has been slightly higher at 1.8%, with an average property price of £268,000.
The strong price increase following the pandemic has since eased. In both Harrogate and North Yorkshire, residential prices are about 1% below their September 2022 peak.
Rents in Harrogate are currently around £1,120 per calendar month (pcm), a significant 35% higher than the wider North Yorkshire area, which is around £830pcm.
Rental growth has finally eased over the last 12 months, across most parts of the UK. In Harrogate, growth is now around 2.5% per annum, down sharply from 2023 when rents were growing by an average of 15% per annum.
