The market

How many homes sold in Somerset each year, and how many were new-build homes sold.

Homes sold in 2025

9,718

5% more than 2024. 222% above the ten-year average.

New-build homes sold in 2025

6% of the homes sold.

Whole years only: 2025 is the last full year, and nearly every sale in it has now been recorded. This year will show once it is over.

New-build homes sold counts only new homes sold to a buyer. Homes built for the council or a housing association, blocks built to rent out, and most shared ownership homes are not sold this way, so more homes are built each year than this shows.
