Eastbourne property market: common questions
Where is Eastbourne?
Eastbourne sits on the edge of East Sussex, covering about 8 square miles.
What is the average house price in Eastbourne?
The median asking price across the 956 homes for sale in Eastbourne is £295,000 (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 £215,000 and £425,000. That is 22% below East Sussex. Homes that actually sold in Eastbourne went for a median £275,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne is up 37% 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 Eastbourne cheaper than East Sussex?
Yes: asking prices in Eastbourne are typically lower than across East Sussex. The median asking price in Eastbourne is £295,000 against £380k across East Sussex: 22% below East Sussex. 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 many homes are for sale in Eastbourne?
956 homes are on the market in Eastbourne right now, up 3% since 1 Sept, 191 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Eastbourne?
236 listings in Eastbourne had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 25% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Eastbourne?
Of the Eastbourne 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 44 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 Eastbourne?
The median asking price for a flat in Eastbourne is £219,000. 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 £300,000 across 182 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Eastbourne?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Eastbourne is £225,000, across 259 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Eastbourne?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Eastbourne is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £300,000 across 90 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Eastbourne?
In Eastbourne, homes that sold went for a median £315 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £312 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (956 in Eastbourne), 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 Eastbourne since February 2026.
- East Sussex comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of East Sussex, 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.
