Prices are as paid, not adjusted for inflation. Standard (category A) sales only; Land Registry adds a sale when it is registered, so the newest months fill in later.

3,172 new homes have been sold in Harrogate since 1995; the share peaked at 13% in 1996.
New-build share of sales

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £399,950
against £290,000 for a home sold on, 38% more, over three years. New homes are often a different mix from the homes sold on, so part of the gap is size and type.
