Dumfries and Galloway Counts

Dumfries and Galloway, in numbers

Average home prices reached £170,000 in Dumfries and Galloway.

Dumfries and Galloway council area. July 2026. Every figure carries its own date.

Dumfries and Galloway’s investment reaches Annan, Stranraer and Dumfries in different ways. A school already open, a harbour under construction and a marina awaiting further stages should not be presented as equally complete.

The short version

Average home price over time

January 2004 to July 2026

Dumfries and Galloway council area · Cash prices, before allowing for inflation

Reviewed figures: January 2004 to July 2026. This reviewed record covers fewer than 30 years, so the chart opens on all of it.

Shown on this chart: £68,760 in January 2004; £169,511 in July 2026. 146.5% higher between these observations.

The line joins consecutive published observations.

Full history context

Average home prices rose from £69,000 to £170,000 between January 2004 and July 2026.

July 2025 to July 2026: £7,000 more per home (4.6% higher).

Cash prices, before allowing for inflation. Changes do not show affordability without local earnings and household circumstances.

Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

Project locations have not been assigned to current wards without a verified boundary match.

The proposed action sequence is UK Facts analysis, not a council commitment.

Announcements, permissions, construction and completed facilities are distinguished; benefits are not treated as measured outcomes.
