“The Newcastle housing market continues to enjoy vastly improved trading conditions, having shaken off the effects of the recession. There is much greater demand than supply of property across the local authority, which in turn has been the main driver in seeing the marked upswing of 40% in the average house price since 2012.” – Rob Taylor, Managing Partner – Newcastle office, Rettie

The main growth in transactions has been over £250k in the city, especially in the NE6 and NE7 postcodes

Much of this growth has been in the prime markets (over £250,000), especially in the areas of NE2 (including Jesmond and High West Jesmond), NE3 (including Gosforth and South Gosforth), NE6 (including Heaton) and NE7 (including High Heaton and Benton). NE6 and NE7 have significantly outperformed an overall rising market since the downturn.
