Weekly Housing Market Update for Norfolk & Suffolk, Week 46, 2026

Across the 603 areas of Norfolk and Suffolk reported as at 8 November 2026, the average asking price of homes on the market stands at £304,937 across 24,786 homes. The average sold price recorded by HM Land Registry for completed sales in the 12 months to 30 September 2026 is £303,896 across 41,390 sales. The two figures sit close together, which gives sellers and buyers a clear shared reference point.

The Land Registry figures show sold prices down 1.0% year on year across 40,849 sales, a modest movement. On the market today, 36.5% of the 24,786 homes are sold subject to contract (SSTC), which means more than a third already have a buyer in place.

Areas worth watching

Long Stratton has an average asking price of £270,000 across 130 homes, alongside an average sold price of £247,500 from 77 sales over the 12 months to 30 September 2026. Sold prices there are up 6.5% on the year based on 64 sales, and 36.7% of its homes are SSTC.

South Walsham recorded an average sold price of £510,000 across 11 sales in the 12 months to 30 September 2026, the largest rise in the sold price over the year at 121.7%. Its average asking price is £550,000 across 25 homes, and 51.9% of its available homes are SSTC. With only 11 sales behind it, that rise reflects a small number of transactions.

Upton has the highest share of homes SSTC, with 80.0% of its 14 homes on the market already committed to buyers. The average asking price is £377,500, and the average sold price is £359,950 from 129 sales in the 12 months to 30 September 2026, up 11.4% on the year.

Swardeston saw the weakest sold-price change over the year, down 38.7% across 10 sales. Its average sold price was £326,500 over those 10 sales in the 12 months to 30 September 2026, while the average asking price is £325,000 across 552 homes on the market. Because the figure rests on 10 sales, a few individual transactions can move it a long way, so it is best read as one local result rather than a trend.

If you are selling

There are 24,786 homes on the market, so presentation and pricing matter. The sensible starting point is HM Land Registry completed values, where the regional average sold price is £303,896 for the 12 months to 30 September 2026, set alongside the current average asking price of £304,937. Pricing to that evidence puts your home in the best position to join the 36.5% of regional stock already agreed subject to contract.

If you are buying

Buyers have plenty of choice, with 24,786 homes listed and an average asking price of £304,937 as at 8 November 2026. How much is already agreed varies by area, from Upton where 80.0% of homes are SSTC to places with broad availability. Having your mortgage arrangements in place early lets you move promptly when a suitable home is listed.
