Scarborough property market: common questions
Where is Scarborough?
Scarborough sits on the edge of North Yorkshire.
What is the average house price in Scarborough?
The median asking price across the 810 homes for sale in Scarborough is £185,000 (as of 4 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 £130,000 and £265,000. That is 34% below North Yorkshire. Homes that actually sold in Scarborough went for a median £170,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Scarborough 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 Scarborough is up 32% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Scarborough cheaper than North Yorkshire?
Yes: asking prices in Scarborough are typically lower than across North Yorkshire. The median asking price in Scarborough is £185,000 against £280k across North Yorkshire: 34% below North Yorkshire. 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 Scarborough?
810 homes are on the market in Scarborough right now, 128 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 £135,000. 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 £170,000 across 172 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Scarborough?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Scarborough is £140,000, across 202 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Scarborough?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Scarborough is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £225,000 across 66 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Scarborough?
In Scarborough, homes that sold went for a median £191 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 (810 in Scarborough), refreshed daily, as of 4 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 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. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
