On a quarterly view, Farnborough median prices moved from £378,500 in Q3 2024 to £365,000 in Q4 2025, a change of -3.6% over 5 quarters. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Rushmoor Borough Council, the local planning authority covering Farnborough, approved 26 residential planning applications and refused 4 in the last 12 months, with 23 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 87%.

Those applications propose around 541 homes, an estimated £190.0m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Rushmoor Borough Council covers more than one town in Hampshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Farnborough alone.
