Worthing property market: common questions

Where is Worthing?

What is the average house price in Worthing?

The median asking price across the 1,029 homes for sale in Worthing is £350,000 (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 £225,000 and £515,000. That is 20% below West Sussex. Homes that actually sold in Worthing went for a median £350,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Worthing 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 Worthing is up 43% 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 Worthing cheaper than West Sussex?

Yes: asking prices in Worthing are typically lower than across West Sussex. The median asking price in Worthing is £350,000 against £435k across West Sussex: 20% below West Sussex.

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 detached houses, at a median £650,000 across 157 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,029 in Worthing), 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 Worthing since May 2026.
  • West Sussex comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of West 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 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.
