What is the average house price in Basildon?
The median asking price across the 416 homes for sale in Basildon is £325,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £245,000 and £425,000. That is 16% below Essex. Homes that actually sold in Basildon went for a median £325,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Basildon rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Basildon is up 58% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Basildon cheaper than Essex?
Yes: asking prices in Basildon are typically lower than across Essex. The median asking price in Basildon is £325,000 against £385k across Essex: 16% below Essex.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (416 in Basildon), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Basildon since May 2026.
- Essex comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Essex, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
