Crystal Palace property market: common questions

Where is Crystal Palace?

Crystal Palace sits in south London, partly in Croydon, about 6 miles from the centre.

What is the average house price in Crystal Palace?

The median asking price across the 344 homes for sale in Crystal Palace is £450,000 (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 £325,000 and £577,500. That is 22% below London. Homes that actually sold in Crystal Palace went for a median £435,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Crystal Palace 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 Crystal Palace is up 24% 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 Crystal Palace cheaper than London?

Yes: asking prices in Crystal Palace are typically lower than across London. The median asking price in Crystal Palace is £450,000 against £575k across London: 22% below London. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How long are homes on the market in Crystal Palace?

Of the Crystal Palace listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 91 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in Crystal Palace?

The median asking price for a flat in Crystal Palace is £370,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £600,000 across 37 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Crystal Palace?

How much is a three-bedroom house in Crystal Palace?

What is the price per square foot in Crystal Palace?

In Crystal Palace, homes that sold went for a median £587 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £557 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (344 in Crystal Palace), 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 Crystal Palace since November 2025.
  • London comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of London, 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.
