Scarborough sits on the edge of North Yorkshire.

What is the average house price in Scarborough?

The median asking price across the 869 homes for sale in Scarborough is £180,000 (as of 20 August 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 £125,000 and £265,000. That is 36% below North Yorkshire. Homes that actually sold in Scarborough went for a median £166,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

How many homes are for sale in Scarborough?

869 homes are on the market in Scarborough right now, 706 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

How much do flats and houses cost in Scarborough?

The median asking price for a flat in Scarborough is £131,250; for a house it is £175,000. Use the property type and bedroom filters on this page for a finer cut.

What is the price per square foot in Scarborough?

In Scarborough, homes that sold went for a median £193 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £194 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (869 in Scarborough), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 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 Scarborough since May 2026.
  • North Yorkshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of North Yorkshire, 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 for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
