Seaham property market: common questions
Where is Seaham?
Seaham sits on the edge of Durham. Figures for Seaham cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Seaham?
The median asking price across the 128 homes for sale in Seaham is £140,000 (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 £103,713 and £221,213. That is 15% below Durham. Homes that actually sold in Seaham went for a median £127,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Seaham 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 Seaham is up 36% 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 Seaham cheaper than Durham?
Yes: asking prices in Seaham are typically lower than across Durham. The median asking price in Seaham is £140,000 against £165k across Durham: 15% below Durham. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Durham's.

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Seaham is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £100,000 across 25 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (128 in Seaham), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Seaham cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- 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 Seaham since May 2026.
- Durham comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Durham, 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.
