At the start of August 2026, Mulbarton has 148 properties listed for sale, with an average asking price of £395,000 and a price range stretching from £170,000 to £1,900,000. That spread reflects a village market that runs from modest terraced homes through to substantial detached houses on larger plots, rather than a uniform housing stock.
Of those 148 listings, 143 remain actively marketed and 5 are sold subject to contract, giving an SSTC rate of 25.0%. The average property here has been on the market for 277 days, and at the current sales rate there is 9.1 months of inventory sitting on the books. Taken together, these figures describe a market with plenty of choice for buyers and properties that generally take real time to find a buyer.

The clearest trend in Mulbarton right now is volume of choice against slow turnover. With 148 properties for sale and only 5 currently sold subject to contract, the SSTC rate of 25.0% sits well above the 10.0% recorded in both nearby Swardeston and Dunston, though it remains far below Intwood’s 55.0%. That places Mulbarton in the middle of its local group for agreed-sale activity.
Days on market of 277 is long in absolute terms, but it is 114 days shorter than the Norfolk county average of 391 days, meaning homes here are, in relative terms, moving faster than the typical property across the county’s 340 other tracked areas. Combined with 9.1 months of inventory, the picture is one of a well-supplied market where serious, well-priced homes still find buyers noticeably quicker than the Norfolk norm.
With 9.1 months of inventory currently sitting on the market, Mulbarton sits on the buyers’ side of the ledger. Supply of 148 properties, against a comparatively modest 5 SSTC, means purchasers have genuine choice across price points from £170,000 up to £1,900,000, and less pressure to move quickly on any single listing.
That said, the 25.0% SSTC rate is not stagnant. It outpaces both Swardeston and Dunston at 10.0% each, suggesting Mulbarton is holding its own for buyer interest even as stock levels remain generous. Sellers should expect a negotiation, not a bidding war, but not a market that is dead either.
Momentum in Mulbarton currently reads as steady rather than accelerating or sharply cooling. The average of 277 days on market has not shifted overnight, and 9.1 months of inventory reflects an accumulated backlog of listings rather than a sudden change in buyer appetite.
The comparative point worth holding onto is that Mulbarton’s days on market, while long, are still 114 days shorter than the Norfolk county average of 391 days. That relative advantage suggests the village is not falling behind its wider county, even if it is not currently in a fast-moving phase either.
Buyers currently have room to negotiate in Mulbarton. With 143 properties actively marketed and 9.1 months of inventory, there is no shortage of alternative options if a seller will not move on price, and the average 277-day marketing period gives buyers time to research comparables properly before committing.
That room has limits. A 25.0% SSTC rate, ahead of Swardeston’s and Dunston’s 10.0%, shows that realistically priced homes are still agreeing sales. Buyers who open with aggressive lowball offers on well-presented, correctly priced properties risk losing out to a more measured counter-offer from another interested party.
Working across Mulbarton and its surrounding villages, our team sees the same pattern repeat itself: homes priced with a genuine understanding of the current 9.1 months of inventory move within a reasonable timeframe, while those priced against last year’s assumptions simply add to the 277-day average without result.
We track not just Mulbarton in isolation but the wider cluster of villages around it, comparing agreed-sale activity and pricing against neighbours such as Swardeston, Intwood and Dunston to help sellers understand exactly where their property sits within the local hierarchy before it goes to market.
Mulbarton’s average price of £395,000 sits within a wide band, from a £170,000 entry point to a £1,900,000 ceiling, and the comparable listing sample bears that out directly: a 7-bedroom detached house at Swardeston, Norwich, NR14 8DG is currently on the market at £1,900,000 after 173 days, while a 3-bedroom terraced house on Chestnut Close, Swardeston, NR14 8FA is listed at £270,000 after 125 days. That gap illustrates how much the top end of stock skews the average away from what a typical family home costs here.
The type mix underlines the same story. Detached houses account for 70% (14 of 20) of the comparable sample, semi-detached 20% (4 of 20), and terraced 10% (2 of 20), so any read of the average price has to account for a market weighted heavily toward larger, detached stock rather than smaller terraces or flats.
Buying in Mulbarton at the moment means starting from a position of choice. With 148 properties on the market and only 5 currently under offer, there is no need to rush a decision purely out of fear of losing a property, and the average 277-day marketing period gives you time to view thoroughly, arrange surveys, and compare like-for-like homes before making an offer.
Do your homework on type and location within the price range, though. A 3-bedroom semi-detached house on Chestnut Close, Swardeston, NR14 8FA is currently listed at £350,000, while a 2-bedroom semi at High Common, NR14 8DL, has already gone to £210,000 and SSTC. Understanding where a specific property sits against genuinely comparable stock, rather than the headline £395,000 average, is what actually protects your offer.
Our honest view of Mulbarton is that it rewards patience over speed at the moment. With 9.1 months of inventory and an average marketing period of 277 days, sellers who price to the current market, not to hopeful expectations, are the ones who see genuine offers rather than months of silence.
Buyers, meanwhile, should not mistake plentiful choice for a weak village. The 25.0% SSTC rate, ahead of both Swardeston and Dunston at 10.0% each, tells us there is real underlying demand for the right property at the right price, it simply takes longer here than in a tighter market to find that match.
Mulbarton currently offers an average asking price of £395,000 across a stock range from £170,000 to £1,900,000, with 9.1 months of inventory and an average of 277 days on market. That level of supply gives an investor genuine negotiating scope on acquisition price, though the marketing timeline should be factored into any purchase and refurbishment schedule.
Rental demand data is not held for this report and will be added as it becomes available. What can be said with confidence from current figures is that the 25.0% SSTC rate outperforms neighbouring Swardeston and Dunston, both at 10.0%, indicating comparatively steadier buyer demand within this immediate cluster of villages.
Detached houses dominate Mulbarton’s comparable listings, making up 70% (14 of 20) of the sample, and they also account for the widest price spread. Current examples include a 7-bedroom detached house at Swardeston, Norwich, NR14 8DG listed at £1,900,000, and a more typical 3-bedroom detached on Main Road, Swardeston, NR14 8DN, at £475,000, showing how much bedroom count and plot size move the price within a single property type.
Semi-detached houses form 20% (4 of 20) of the sample and sit at more accessible price points, such as the 3-bedroom semi at Chestnut Close, Swardeston, NR14 8FA at £350,000 and the 2-bedroom semi at High Common, NR14 8DL at £210,000, sold subject to contract, which is currently the lowest price point among the comparable listings. Terraced houses, at 10% (2 of 20), are represented by the 3-bedroom terrace on Chestnut Close at £270,000, another relatively affordable option, sitting between the semi-detached and detached price bands in this sample.
There are 148 properties currently for sale in and around Mulbarton, of which 143 remain actively marketed and 5 are sold subject to contract. Among the current comparable listings are a 7-bedroom detached house at Swardeston, Norwich, Norfolk NR14, NR14 8DG, priced at £1,900,000 and on the market for 173 days, and a 3-bedroom detached house on Main Road, Swardeston, NR14 8DN, at £475,000 after 24 days.
Further down the price range, a 3-bedroom terraced house on Chestnut Close, Swardeston, NR14, NR14 8FA is listed at £270,000 (125 days on market), alongside a 3-bedroom semi-detached house on the same road at £350,000 (36 days). At High Common, Swardeston, NR14, NR14 8DL, a 3-bedroom semi is on the market at £325,000 (30 days), while a 2-bedroom semi at the same address, priced at £210,000, is already sold subject to contract after 40 days.
Land Registry data confirms six completed sales in Mulbarton itself in recent months, distinct from the on-market and SSTC listings above. 61 Lark Rise, a terraced house, sold for £167,500 on 19 June 2026. 8 Pheasant Close, also terraced, sold for £390,000 on 11 June 2026.
18 Bromedale Avenue, a flat, sold for £158,000 on 29 May 2026, while 76 Bromedale Avenue, a terraced house, sold for £320,000 on 18 May 2026. On the same day, 4 Cornfield Road, a detached house, sold for £400,000. Most recently in this batch, 1 Gowing Road, a semi-detached house, sold for £232,500 on 15 May 2026.
Mulbarton’s average asking price of £395,000 sits £16,733 above the Norfolk county average of £378,267, a premium of 4.4%. That is a modest but consistent gap, reflecting the village’s mix of larger detached stock rather than a dramatic departure from typical Norfolk pricing.
Where Mulbarton shows a clearer difference is in speed. The average of 277 days on market compares favourably with the Norfolk county average of 391 days, a difference of 114 fewer days. Set against 340 other areas tracked across the county, that puts Mulbarton among the faster-moving villages for a market that is still, by its own numbers, tilted toward buyers.
Against its nearest neighbours, Mulbarton’s average price of £395,000 sits above Swardeston‘s £318,500 by £76,500, and above Dunston‘s £361,500 by £33,500. It falls short of Intwood‘s £461,000 average by £66,000.
Demand tells a different story to price alone. Intwood’s SSTC rate of 55.0% far outpaces Mulbarton’s 25.0%, while both Swardeston and Dunston sit at 10.0%, meaning Mulbarton currently occupies the middle ground for agreed sales among this immediate group of villages, priced above two neighbours but with noticeably softer demand than the third.
Mulbarton is a working Norfolk village a short drive south of Norwich, with a mix of established family housing, newer estate development, and older properties closer to the village centre. It functions as a practical base for commuters into Norwich while retaining a genuine village identity, with local shops, a primary school, and community amenities that keep daily life self-contained rather than entirely dependent on the city.
The housing stock reflects that dual character. Alongside period and traditional homes sit modern estate roads such as Lark Rise, Pheasant Close, Bromedale Avenue and Cornfield Road, where recent Land Registry sales show a genuine range of property types, from flats and terraces through to detached family houses, all within easy reach of the village’s core amenities.
Selling in Mulbarton at present means preparing for a longer marketing period than a hot seller’s market would suggest. With an average of 277 days on the market and 9.1 months of inventory, a home needs to be priced and presented correctly from day one rather than relying on a quick sale to cover early overpricing.
The upside is that a 25.0% SSTC rate shows genuine buyer activity is present, ahead of the levels seen in nearby Swardeston and Dunston. Sellers who benchmark their asking price against actual comparable listings and recent Land Registry completions, rather than against the headline £395,000 average alone, put themselves in the strongest position within this longer timeframe.
Selling a home in a market with 9.1 months of inventory and a 277-day average marketing period is not a job for guesswork pricing or a listing left to sit on the portals. It calls for an agent who actively tracks what is happening street by street, from Lark Rise to Cornfield Road, and who understands how Mulbarton’s pricing sits relative to Swardeston, Intwood and Dunston.
The Ivybridge Collection works this specific corner of south Norfolk regularly, which means recommendations on pricing and positioning are grounded in current comparable listings and completed sales, not a generic county-wide template.
The Ivybridge Collection covers Mulbarton as part of its regular Norfolk coverage, monitoring the village alongside neighbouring Swardeston, Intwood and Dunston so that pricing advice reflects genuine local comparables rather than a broad county estimate.
For anyone weighing up a move in or out of Mulbarton, our team can talk through how the current 148 listings, the 277-day average marketing period and the 9.1 months of inventory apply specifically to a property like yours.
Our professional advice for anyone selling in Mulbarton right now is to price against current, active comparables rather than the highest recent asking price in the village. With 9.1 months of inventory and an average of 277 days on market, an asking price that is even modestly too high will simply add time rather than value, and buyers researching the market will notice a stale listing.
For buyers, get a proper structural survey and a clear read on comparable Land Registry completions before offering, particularly given the wide price range in this market, from £170,000 to £1,900,000. A property’s asking price tells you what a seller wants, not necessarily what it is genuinely worth against recent completed sales such as those on Bromedale Avenue and Cornfield Road.
