Filby’s current listings run to 97 properties, of which 93 remain actively for sale and just 4 are recorded as sold subject to contract, a 20.0% SSTC rate. The average asking price across the parish sits at £307,000, though the range is wide, stretching from £190,000 up to £1,695,000, reflecting a market that spans modest terraced cottages and larger detached houses.
Average days on market currently stands at 1,014 days, alongside 33.3 months of inventory at the present sales rate, figures that point to slow-moving stock rather than a market under any obvious pressure. Of the 20 comparable listings analysed, 80% are detached houses, with terraced and semi-detached stock making up the remainder, underlining how detached property dominates what is actually available to buy in and around the village.

The clearest trend in Filby at present is the sheer weight of stock relative to the pace of sales. A figure of 33.3 months of inventory alongside an average of 1,014 days on market describes a market where properties are typically staying listed for a long time before finding a buyer.
Against that backdrop, a 20.0% SSTC rate, 4 of 97 listings currently under offer, shows that transactions are still happening, just not quickly. The £190,000 to £1,695,000 price range also signals a market with distinct segments rather than one uniform trend, from smaller terraced homes at the lower end toward substantial detached houses at the top.
With 93 of Filby’s 97 listed properties still actively for sale and only 4 under offer, the parish presents as a buyers’ market at this snapshot date. A 20.0% SSTC rate is a modest conversion of listings into agreed sales, and set against 33.3 months of inventory, current stock levels far exceed what a brisk sales rate would need to clear.
For anyone weighing up buyer versus seller leverage, the numbers point toward buyers holding the stronger negotiating hand for the time being.
Momentum in Filby is best described as slow rather than accelerating. An average of 1,014 days on market, some 625 days longer than the Norfolk county average of 389 days, indicates that listings here typically take considerably longer to sell than the wider county norm.
The 20.0% SSTC rate shows sales are still concluding, but the scale of active stock, 93 properties still on the market against just 4 SSTC, means the overall pace remains measured rather than brisk.
Buyers approaching Filby at present are working from a position of some leverage. With 33.3 months of inventory and an average marketing period of 1,014 days, sellers whose homes have been listed for an extended period may be more open to negotiation than the advertised price alone would suggest.
That said, the 20.0% SSTC rate confirms that realistically priced homes are still agreeing sales, so an evidence-based offer, informed by comparable sold prices rather than an arbitrary discount, remains the most effective approach.
Our team’s experience of Filby is that the headline figures only tell part of the story. Yes, stock levels are high and properties can sit on the market for a long stretch, but the village itself, with its broadland setting and mix of period cottages and larger detached houses, continues to draw genuine interest from buyers looking for a specific kind of Norfolk life rather than a quick purchase.
We have seen that homes priced with a realistic eye on recent completed sales, rather than aspirational asking prices, are the ones that move. Anyone weighing up a purchase or sale here benefits from someone who knows which roads and which types of property in Filby are actually attracting offers at present.
A closer look at Filby’s figures shows a market defined less by weak demand and more by an oversupply of time on the market relative to sales. The 33.3 months of inventory is a function of 97 properties listed against a slow conversion rate, evidenced by the 1,014 day average.
Yet the SSTC rate of 20.0%, with 4 properties currently under offer, confirms that buyers are still transacting. The price range, from £190,000 to £1,695,000, also matters here: a handful of higher value detached properties can distort what an average figure looks like, which is why the £307,000 average price should be read alongside the property type mix, 80% detached among the comparable listings analysed, rather than in isolation.
Buying in Filby currently means having patience built into your plan. With 93 properties actively for sale and an average of 1,014 days before a sale completes, this is not a market where you need to rush a decision on viewing day.
That said, the 20.0% SSTC rate shows that well-priced homes, particularly among the detached stock that makes up the bulk of what is available, do still get agreed. Buyers should come prepared with a clear view of recent completed prices in the village itself, since asking prices across the £190,000 to £1,695,000 range vary enormously depending on size, plot and proximity to the water.
Our considered view is that Filby’s current figures describe a market working through a large volume of stock, rather than one experiencing a collapse in demand. A 20.0% SSTC rate, and continuing interest across the price range, suggest genuine buyer appetite remains for the right properties.
What the 33.3 months of inventory tells us is that sellers need to price with real discipline, using actual completed sales rather than aspirational comparables, if they want their listing to be among the properties that convert rather than sit for the long haul.
For an investor, Filby’s current average price of £307,000 sits £71,528 below the Norfolk county average of £378,528, a discount of 18.9%. The trade-off is time: an average of 1,014 days on market and 33.3 months of inventory mean this is not a market suited to a quick turnaround purchase and resale.
The 20.0% SSTC rate and a price range extending to £1,695,000 indicate that demand exists across the market, but an investor should factor an extended holding or marketing period into any return calculation for this specific area.
Among the 20 comparable listings analysed, detached houses make up 80% (16) of the stock, with terraced houses at 15% (3) and semi-detached houses at 5% (1). This detached-dominant mix is a significant factor behind the £307,000 average price and the wide price range of £190,000 to £1,695,000, since a market weighted so heavily toward detached property will naturally include higher value outliers alongside more modest homes.
The comparable listings bear this out directly: a 2 bed detached house on Main Road, Fleggburgh is priced at £260,000, while a 5 bed detached house on Church View, Fleggburgh is listed at £750,000, illustrating how much size and specification vary even within the same property type.
The wider price range for the area is well illustrated by comparable listings in neighbouring Fleggburgh, used here alongside Filby’s own figures to show how asking prices and marketing times vary across this part of the Broads. A 3 bed detached house on Tretts Lane, Fleggburgh (NR29 3AT) is listed at £400,000 after 67 days on market, a 3 bed detached house on Rollesby Road, Fleggburgh (NR29 3AQ) is on the market at £270,000 after 87 days, and a 5 bed detached house on Church View, Fleggburgh (NR29 3DJ) is listed at £750,000 having been on the market for 214 days.
At the more affordable end, a 3 bed terraced house on St Margarets Way, Fleggburgh (NR29 3DN) is priced at £190,000 after 153 days, while a similar 3 bed terraced house on St. Margarets Way, Fleggburgh, Great Yarmouth (NR29 3AW) is newer to the market at £230,000 after 17 days. A 2 bed detached house on Main Road, Fleggburgh (NR29 3AG) at £260,000 is already sold subject to contract after 47 days, showing that even in this slower market, some properties do move quickly.
Land Registry data records six completed sales in Filby itself. 1, Church Lane sold for £225,000 (terraced) on 2026-05-29. Little Barn, Church Lane sold for £475,000 (detached) on 2026-01-16. Hollytree Chalet, Main Road sold for £530,000 (detached) on 2025-12-12.
White House, Thrigby Road sold for £520,000 (detached) on 2025-10-31. 5, Glebe Farm Close, Main Road sold for £607,500 (detached) on 2025-10-24. 4, Mautby Lane sold for £445,000 (semi-detached) on 2025-10-16.
These completed transactions, spanning £225,000 to £607,500, mostly sit above the current £307,000 average asking price for the area, with only the entry level terraced sale on Church Lane priced below it, a reminder that current listings and completed Land Registry sales are not always directly comparable snapshots of the same market moment.
Filby’s average price of £307,000 sits below the Norfolk county average of £378,528, a difference of £71,528, or 18.9%. The gap is even more pronounced on timing: Filby’s average days on market of 1,014 days is 625 days longer than the Norfolk average of 389 days.
Together these figures describe a market that is both more affordable and considerably slower moving than the county picture, a combination that buyers looking for value, and sellers needing patience, should factor into their expectations.
Set against its immediate neighbours, Filby’s £307,000 average price is lower than Fleggburgh’s £321,500 by £14,500, lower than Rollesby’s £331,000 by £24,000, and higher than Ormesby St Margaret’s £266,500 by £40,500.
On SSTC rate, Filby’s 20.0% matches Fleggburgh’s own 20.0%, while both Ormesby St Margaret and Rollesby sit slightly lower at 15.0%. These figures place Filby roughly in the middle of its local peer group on price, while showing a comparable level of current buyer commitment to Fleggburgh specifically.
Filby sits within the Norfolk Broads landscape, a village shaped as much by water as by its built heart. The parish church and a scatter of period cottages give the older core its character, while the surrounding farmland and broads keep the setting distinctly rural rather than commuter belt.
It is the kind of place where a walk to the water is part of daily life rather than an occasional outing, and where new arrivals tend to be drawn by the pace and the setting as much as by any specific amenity list. Village life here is quieter and more self-contained than in the larger settlements nearby, which suits buyers looking for genuine rural Norfolk rather than a satellite of Great Yarmouth or Norwich.
Selling in Filby right now means accepting that the market rewards patience and realistic pricing over hope. With 93 properties still actively for sale and an average of 1,014 days on market, a home that is overpriced against genuine local comparables risks joining that long tail rather than the 20% of listings currently under offer.
The completed sales recorded by the Land Registry, from £225,000 for a terraced house up to £607,500 for a detached property on Glebe Farm Close, give sellers a genuine benchmark for what buyers have actually paid recently, rather than what similar homes are simply asking.
In a market where 33.3 months of inventory sit on the books and the average listing takes over a thousand days to sell, the difference an agent makes is in pricing discipline and knowing which comparables actually apply. We track completed sales in Filby specifically, not just asking prices across the wider area, and we know which of the current listings, from the detached houses that make up 80% of the comparable stock to the more modest terraced homes at the lower end of the price range, are genuinely attracting interest.
That local, evidence-led approach is what The Ivybridge Collection brings to sellers and buyers in Filby.
Our coverage of Filby sits within a wider patch across this part of the Norfolk Broads, working alongside neighbouring villages including Fleggburgh, Ormesby St Margaret and Rollesby. Our familiarity with the completed sales on Church Lane, Main Road and Thrigby Road, rather than just current asking prices, means we can speak to what buyers in this specific village have genuinely paid, not only what sellers are hoping for.
Given the length of time properties are taking to sell in Filby, our advice to sellers is to commission a proper comparative analysis using completed Land Registry sales, not just current asking prices from similar-looking listings, before setting a price. The gap between the £307,000 average asking price and the £225,000 to £607,500 range of actual completed sales in the village shows how much variation exists depending on property type and size.
For buyers, we would advise building extra time into any purchase timeline given the 1,014 day average, and treating any long-standing listing as a genuine invitation to negotiate on evidence rather than instinct. Anyone unsure how these figures apply to a specific property or address should seek a proper valuation grounded in local comparables rather than a generic online estimate.
