Property Market Overview
Folkestone has seen steady residential sales activity over the past five years, with nearly 5,700 transactions recorded. The market sits at a mean price of £321,426, though the median of £290,000 suggests many properties sell below the average, indicating a spread of values across the town. Prices have risen 15.5% over the five-year period, with recent sales averaging £352,859—notably higher than the longer-term mean.
Property Types and Price Differences
Terraced homes dominate transaction numbers at 1,800 sales and average £277,528, making them the most common type. Flats are similarly popular with 1,627 sales but command lower prices at £225,229 on average. Detached properties are significantly more expensive at £525,437—roughly double the price of terraced homes—while semi-detached houses sit between, averaging £352,402.
Price Trends Over Time
The five-year trend shows steady appreciation, though prices dipped in 2023 before recovering strongly. Recent monthly data reveals continued upward momentum, with 2026 average prices substantially higher than the 2021 baseline of £309,306.
What Stands Out
The recent price range spans £200,000 to £450,000, reflecting considerable diversity within the market. Terraced and flat properties account for over 60% of all sales, indicating these are the backbone of Folkestone's residential market, while detached homes remain relatively scarce despite commanding premium prices.
