| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| On the market | 65 |
| Available (not under offer) | 61 |
| Fresh (≤20 days) | 52 |
| Stuck (90+ days) | 9 |
| Under offer | 4 |
Each measure as a count out of 65 live listings. The measures can overlap (a fresh listing may also be under offer), so they are separate bars, not a single divided total.
What it rents for, and the yield
Typical long-let asking rent in LS2 runs around £270 a week (£1,170 a month), a gross rental yield of about 8.4%. Rent here is live long-let asking data, and the gross yield is PropertyData's own estimate - a year's rent as a share of price, before letting costs, voids and tax. It sits beside the sold and asking figures; like them, it is market context, not a valuation of any property.
| Type | Per week | Per month | Gross yield | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-bed flats | £270 | £1,170 | 8.4% | 87 |
Listings to watch in LS2
Asking £50,000 - about 66% below the flats sold median of £147,000. A keen asking price is not proof of a bargain, but it is where a buyer starts looking.
View on Rightmove →Asking £175,000 - about 19% above the flats sold median of £147,000, after 100 days on the market. Priced above what the evidence has been completing at, which is how listings end up sitting.

View on OnTheMarket →How these are chosen. One live listing is selected for buyers, one for sellers and one for agents, drawn at random from every listing in this district that genuinely qualifies on that measure - a keen asking price, a price sitting above the sold evidence, or a long-stalled instruction. Selection is possible by default but never guaranteed, and no placement here is paid for. Asking prices are context, not evidence of value; this page is not a valuation.
What the numbers mean for you
If you are buying
- Asking prices are at or below the median sale - competition is real; offers near asking are the norm.
- Average time on market is 65 days - a measured pace, there is time to do diligence.
If you are selling
- Expect roughly 65 days to a sale at the right price.
If you are investing
- The blended sold rate is £2,594 per m² - your per-m² entry price is the cleanest cross-district comparison.
- 29 sales in the last year signals liquidity - how easily you could exit.
- Gross rental yield is running near 8.4% - a year's rent as a share of price, before letting costs and voids, not a guaranteed return.
- The wider Leeds index is +2.3% year on year (context, not a forecast).
