The story
As with every city, part of that gap comes from the mix of homes being listed rather than pure discounting. The figure buyers should focus on is the average asking price reduction: 2.4% in Exeter, around £8,300 on a typical listing. Homes take about 14 weeks to go under offer.
What this means if you're buying in Exeter
- Prices have dipped over the past year, which gives buyers more leverage than in 2022–23.
- EX4 is a good benchmark: the median sold price across 74 recent sales was £281,250.
- Slower sale times mean many sellers are open to offers below asking, especially after the first couple of months.
