Hove property market: common questions
Where is Hove?

What is the average house price in Hove?
The median asking price across the 1,075 homes for sale in Hove is £425,000 (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 £300,000 and £650,000. That is in line with Brighton and Hove. Homes that actually sold in Hove went for a median £440,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Hove is up 40% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026).

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,075 in Hove), 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 Hove since April 2026.
- Brighton and Hove comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Brighton and Hove, 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.
