Oadby attracted the largest share of Leicester home-movers by some distance.
It also saw strong annual growth, with demand rising by 131.4%. That puts it ahead of other fast-rising suburbs such as Earl Shilton and Blaby & Whetstone.
Its average house price is £285,372, placing it in the middle of the top 10. This suggests home-movers may be weighing up more than price alone, including space, schools, transport and access to Leicester.
Blaby & Whetstone saw the strongest growth, with home-mover demand rising by 140.0%.
Oadby and Earl Shilton also saw demand more than double, while Braunstone and Syston recorded large increases too.
This points to a clear shift towards suburban and commuter-led areas. These locations often offer more houses, larger homes and easier access to routes such as the ring road, M1 and A6.
Leicester home-movers appear to be looking beyond the city centre.
Oadby, Braunstone, Syston, Earl Shilton and Blaby & Whetstone all saw strong growth. Belgrave, Evington, Narborough and the City Centre saw demand fall.
