House Prices in West Northamptonshire

The median price of £285,000 sits notably below the average of £396,560, indicating a market where most properties sell for less than the mean, with some higher-value sales pulling the average up. The region encompasses towns ranging from smaller settlements to Northampton, the largest centre.

Property Types and Price Differences Detached homes command the highest prices at £463,743, making them roughly three times more expensive than flats, which average £155,753. Semi-detached properties sit in the middle at £285,571, while terraced homes at £242,202 are the most affordable traditional family dwellings. Flats represent the smallest segment, accounting for just over 9% of all sales.

Price Trends Over Time The five-year trend shows a significant decline of 21.5%, with prices peaking in 2022 at £491,021 before dropping sharply. Recent data from 2025 and 2026 suggests continued downward pressure, with 2026 figures falling to £274,322—well below the five-year average.

What Stands Out Rugby and Market Harborough show notably higher average prices despite minimal transaction volumes, suggesting these areas attract premium properties with limited frequency. Northampton dominates the market by volume, accounting for 71% of all sales, while smaller towns like Daventry and Towcester maintain prices closer to the county average despite much lower activity.
