And the honest answer is — yes, it probably is. If you have been thinking about [Regent's Park property for sale](https://phillipsharrod.com/area_guide/regents-park/) for a while but kept putting it off, 2026 is worth paying attention to. The market here has shifted in a way that does not happen very often. Here is what is going on and what it means for you. **What Has Changed in 2026?** The number of new homes coming onto the market dropped sharply at the end of 2025. New listings fell by 35% in just one quarter. That is a big drop. This sounds like bad news for buyers. But here is the interesting part — prices have also come down from where they were a few years ago. And with fewer sellers, the ones who are selling are more open to talking on price. For buyers, that means you can negotiate more than you could have two or three years ago. For renters, demand is still strong, but more homes are becoming available as landlords adjust to new rental rules. St John's Wood, Regent's Park, and Primrose Hill were the most active super-prime areas in London in early 2026. That activity tells you people still want to be here — they are just waiting for the right moment. **Why People Still Want to Live Here** This area has something very hard to explain until you have spent time here. It is not just the park, although that helps. It is the whole feeling of the place. You can walk out of your front door and be inside one of London's biggest open spaces in two minutes. You can watch a show at the Open Air Theatre in summer. You can take a boat on the lake on a Sunday. But you are also right in the middle of London. Baker Street is close. The West End is not far. You can get anywhere you need to go quickly. That combination — open space and city access together — is what keeps demand here so strong, even when the wider market slows down. **What Kind of Homes Are Coming Up Right Now ** Because of the drop in new listings, the homes that are coming up tend to be special ones. Right now you can find large lateral apartments in Crown Estate buildings, Grade I and Grade II listed Nash residences, and refurbished period flats with park views. These are not ordinary homes. They are the kind of places that come up once every few years. For buyers with a clear idea of what they want, this is actually a good time to look. The competition is a little lower than usual, and sellers are pricing more carefully. For renters, the area continues to attract professionals and international families. Homes here rent quickly when priced right, and the standard of what is available is consistently high. **What Does It Cost Right Now? ** The average sold price for a home in this area was just under two million pounds. But that is an average across many types of homes. Smaller flats can come in below that. Large Nash houses and top-floor apartments with park views go well above it. Some of the biggest homes here have sold for tens of millions. For renting, a one-bedroom flat starts from around £3,000 a month. Larger homes are much more. But rents near big parks like Regent's Park have stayed higher than the London average, even when the rest of the rental market softened. **Things Worth Checking Before You Commit ** If you are buying, always check two things first. How long is the lease? Most flats here are leasehold. If the lease is under 80 years, it can cause problems with your mortgage and make it harder to sell later. What is the service charge? Big old buildings cost money to look after. Some buildings here have service charges that are higher than people expect. Know this before you fall in love with a flat. If you are renting, also ask about the new rental rules. Fixed term tenancies have changed. Landlords now have to follow updated rules on how and when they can ask tenants to leave. **How Phillips Harrod Limited Can Help ** Phillips Harrod Limited works across the best parts of north and central London.
