# Gateshead Property Market Summary

Gateshead presents an accessible entry point into the North East property market, with an overall average price of £122,529 across nearly 29,500 properties. The borough offers a diverse housing stock that appeals to first-time buyers, families, and investors seeking yield in a major urban area neighbouring Newcastle upon Tyne. Recent transaction data shows considerable market activity, with over 1,800 sales recorded in 2024, reflecting sustained buyer interest despite broader economic headwinds.

The price history reveals notable volatility, with annual averages fluctuating between approximately £145,000 and £257,000 since 2017. After reaching peaks in 2017 and 2019 (exceeding £250,000), average prices moderated through the pandemic period before showing recovery signs in 2023. The 2024-2025 figures suggest the market has stabilised in the £180,000-£190,000 range, representing a more sustainable level following earlier peaks. This variance likely reflects Gateshead's mixed property portfolio, from regeneration areas and new builds to established residential neighbourhoods, each commanding different price points. The consistent sales volumes demonstrate that Gateshead remains an active market with ongoing appeal for those seeking affordability within the Tyneside conurbation.
