Property Market Overview — Brighton and Hove is an active market with nearly 23,300 sales over five years, though prices have declined 5.7% overall. The median price of £403,000 sits notably below the average of £541,170, indicating a market where a significant proportion of sales cluster at the lower end while some higher-value properties lift the overall figure.
Property Types and Price Differences — Flats dominate the market, accounting for nearly half of all transactions at an average of £340,574, while terraced homes average £556,823 and semi-detached properties £573,640. Detached homes command substantially higher prices at £829,744—roughly 2.4 times the cost of a typical flat, reflecting their scarcity in the area.
Price Trends Over Time — Prices peaked sharply in 2023 at £736,954 before falling back significantly. Recent years show stabilisation around the mid-£490,000s, though still below the 2023 spike and comparable to 2021 levels.
What Stands Out — Brighton and Hove's market is heavily weighted toward flats, which comprise 46% of sales. The gap between the median and mean price is substantial (£138,000), indicating a long tail of higher-priced properties skewing the average upward.
