March Market Momentum Surged Amid Growing Buyer Demand
Our Tolladine Road office was The Property Centre's first branch in Worcester when it opened there in 2001. The office currently covers most areas north of the River Severn in postcodes WR3, WR4 and WR5, whilst our St. John's office covers the Worcester postcodes of WR1 and WR2.
This month’s market insight comes from Daniel Turpin, Branch Manager of our Worcester Tolladine Road office. Following on from an incredible 2025, when Daniel led his office to set a new company record for property sales, his office continues to deliver incredible results.
March Market Comment
By Daniel Turpin
Branch Manager of The Property Centre, Worcester
"The first quarter of 2026 has been nothing short of exceptional for The Property Centre, reflecting strong market confidence and continued trust from both buyers and sellers.
Over the first three months of the year, our team celebrated nearly 550 agreed sales, helping hundreds of households move forward with their property goals. We were proud to hand over keys to almost 350 new homeowners, turning dreams of home ownership into reality.
Activity across our branches remained vibrant, with more than 6,000 property viewings successfully arranged — saving our vendors an incredible 3,000 hours of their time. This efficiency marks another example of how The Property Centre’s proactive approach continues to deliver results.
In addition, 4,500 potential new buyers entrusted The Property Centre to guide them on their property journey, and over 600 clients chose to partner with us to sell their homes — a clear vote of confidence in our service and reputation.
Together, these milestones tell a story of trust, growth, and community. As we move further into 2026, The Property Centre remains committed to helping even more people find their perfect home and achieve outstanding results in a dynamic market."
House Prices Around Your Area
Rightmove data shows a continued growth following on from last month’s trends. Based on the value of properties sold between April 2025 and March 2026, compared with the same period the previous year, average property prices have increased across most areas.
In March alone, patch data shows the number of agreed sales in Gloucester increased by 27%, with Longlevens continuing to stand out as a particularly desirable area, seeing a 42% rise.
In contrast, instructions with other agents fell slightly by 0.2%, compared to our own increase of nearly 50%. Our sales agreed figure is almost double the patch average, with the Longlevens and Abbeymead offices performing especially well.
Cheltenham has cemented itself as the highest-value area for the second consecutive month, despite average prices remaining steady year-on-year.
While nearly twice as many properties entered the market as were agreed for sale in March 2026, when comparing figures year on year, listings rose by just 3% whilst sales agreed YoY saw an increase of 28%. This highlights the clear strengthening of demand for property in this ever popular town.
Stroud recorded the highest percentage price increase among the four areas, rising by 3% compared to the same April to March period last year.
Across the area we cover, the gap between new listings and agreed sales is narrowing, driven by a 20% increase in sales agreed since March 2025.
Since March 2025, the Worcester areas we cover have seen a 4.5% increase in new listings, alongside an impressive 36% rise in sales agreed, further evidence of strengthening market activity.
The average house prices above relate to the areas covered by The Property Centre only, comparing 01/04/25 to 31/03/2026 against 01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025 (data source Rightmove).
