Off-plan and ready prices per sq ft by area, October 2026

What the data shows

This page sets out median prices per square foot for ready homes and off-plan homes in a selection of areas, each measured over a window of twelve months named in each sentence below. Each figure below is a sentence computed by Keyva's code from the register and printed without change, with the median, the property types, the area, the dates, and the number of sales it rests on.

Each area is described separately, and each area has two figures: the ready homes and the off-plan homes. The two populations share the same window, so each area is measured with one period on both sides.

The areas are listed by their number of home sales in the window, in descending order; the order says nothing about the prices. No statement is made about which to choose.

How to read these figures

The figures come from the register, which Keyva narrows to home sales. They describe home sales and not offers or asking prices.

A median is the middle value when a group of prices is put in order. It is a steadier guide to a typical sale, as a single unusual sale cannot drag it far. Keyva prints the median together with the count of sales that stand under it.

A price per sqft divides the price paid by the size of the home, so homes of different sizes can be read on a single scale. A price for the whole home is a different measure and is labelled as such.

Ready homes are finished homes. Off-plan homes are sold while still under construction. The two are priced and registered differently, which is why a figure for one is never blended into a figure for the other.

The sample size is the count of sales that form a figure. A small sample can sit far from the typical sale, so Keyva prints a figure where enough sales stand under it, and leaves it out otherwise.

The off-plan share is the part of the sales filed in the window that were off-plan, and it describes the mix of the sales in that window and nothing else.

What the data does not show

The register does not show asking prices, which are marketing figures, and it does not show what a particular home is worth. It records what was registered, and this page goes no further.

It says nothing about the condition, floor, view or finish of a home, and each of those moves a price. A figure for a group of homes cannot stand in for any single home in the group.

The newest days of a window may be thinly covered if the register receives some sales later. Keyva prints the date the data runs to so that the reach of each figure is plain.

Nothing here explains why a figure is what it is, who took part in a sale, or what the market does next. The page offers no outlook and no advice, and a figure is one input among several.

The mix of homes sold in a window changes from one window to the next, so a change in a figure may describe a change in the mix and not a change in a price.
