Last updated: 18 September 2025
Woodbridge stands out as a mature market with a high proportion of older residents and owner-occupiers. The area’s housing market has seen steady, if unspectacular, growth, with capital values changing by 0.9% over the past year and annualised growth over three years at 3.3%. Properties tend to stay on the market for 83 days, suggesting moderate liquidity. Affordability is notable, with a price-to-income ratio of 6.7 and a rent-to-income ratio of 22.3%, both of which position Woodbridge as relatively accessible compared to many southern markets.

Looking ahead, Woodbridge is likely to remain a stable but slow-moving market. The high proportion of older residents and owner-occupiers supports a steady environment, but does little to encourage rapid price or rent growth. Investors should not expect dramatic shifts in demand, given the low presence of younger households and families.
Rental yields in the best postcode district, at 4.1%, remain attractive for those targeting income, though overall market activity is measured, with 168 sales annually and properties taking 83 days to sell. Asking prices for typical homes reflect the area’s relative affordability, with three-bedroom houses at £417,500 and two-bedroom flats at £200,000. In summary, Woodbridge offers a calm, income-focused option for investors willing to accept slower capital growth and longer holding periods.
