As of 1 August 2026, the Hemsby market shows 175 properties listed for sale, of which only 3 are recorded as sold subject to contract and 172 remain actively marketed. The average asking price across current stock sits at £26,080, with individual listings ranging from £10,000 to £240,000, a spread that points to a market built from very different types of housing rather than a single uniform product. Much of the lower end of that range is made up of chalet and park style homes along roads such as Back Market Lane, while the small number of completed Land Registry sales for the village show conventional bricks and mortar houses changing hands for far higher sums. Properties here are staying on the market for an average of 761 days, and at the current pace of sales the village carries around 25.0 months of inventory. That combination, a large volume of stock and a modest rate of properties moving to SSTC, shapes almost everything else in this report.

The clearest trend in Hemsby’s current figures is volume without velocity. Of the 175 properties listed, just 3 have moved to SSTC status, leaving 172 still openly on the market, and the average listing has now been available for 761 days. Rather than a market moving quickly in one price direction, this points to a wide and largely static pool of stock, with an SSTC rate of +15.0% set against far more days on market than some neighbouring areas record. The £10,000 to £240,000 price range also signals a market split between two distinct products: low value chalet and park style listings clustered on roads such as Back Market Lane, and higher value conventional houses, the type reflected in the village’s recent Land Registry completions. Momentum, where it exists, is concentrated at the lower end of that range.
With 172 of Hemsby’s 175 listed properties still actively for sale and only 3 recorded as SSTC, the balance of the market currently favours buyers. A 25.0 month supply of inventory at the current sales rate is a substantial overhang, and the average 761 days a property spends on the market before a sale is agreed reinforces that reading. This is not a market where sellers can expect rapid interest or competing offers on the majority of stock; it is one where patient, well informed buyers have considerable choice and time to weigh their options before committing.
Momentum across Hemsby’s current listings is subdued rather than building. An average of 761 days on market, alongside 172 properties still actively marketed against just 3 SSTC, does not describe a market picking up pace. The 25.0 months of inventory currently sitting on the books would take a considerable stretch of time to clear at the present rate of sales. None of this points to a collapsing market, simply a slow moving one, where individual chalet and park home listings, such as those on Back Market Lane, can sit for a year or more before finding a buyer.
The current figures put buyers in a strong negotiating position. With 172 properties still actively for sale and only 3 having reached SSTC, sellers are competing for attention across a large pool of comparable stock. An average of 761 days on market gives buyers room to negotiate firmly on price and terms, particularly on listings that have already sat unsold for extended periods, such as the Florida Estate property on the market for 456 days. Buyers working with realistic, evidence based offers, informed by both the current asking prices and the completed Land Registry sales for the village, are well placed to secure favourable terms.
Working across Hemsby, our team sees a market that genuinely splits in two once you look past the headline average. A large share of what’s currently listed, chalets and park style homes along Back Market Lane and similar roads, moves at a different pace and a different price point to the permanent housing stock that occasionally comes up in the village, the kind reflected in properties such as those recorded on Common Road and Beach Road. Anyone quoting a single average figure for Hemsby without separating these two markets is giving an incomplete picture, and it’s a distinction we make a point of explaining to every buyer and seller we work with here.
The gap between Hemsby’s average asking price of £26,080 and its recent Land Registry completions, which range from £80,000 for a terraced property on Newport Cottages to £487,500 for a detached house on Beach Road, is the single most important fact in this report. It tells us that the 175 properties currently for sale are dominated by a different housing type to the properties that have actually completed. That is consistent with the current comparable listings, all six of which are chalet or park style detached homes priced between £10,000 and £23,000, with most having sat on the market well over a year. With 172 of the 175 listed properties still actively marketed, an SSTC rate of +15.0% and 25.0 months of inventory outstanding, the wider picture is one of an oversupplied lower price band sitting alongside a much smaller, higher value segment of conventional housing that trades far less frequently and at far higher prices.
Buying in Hemsby means being clear from the outset about which market you are actually in. If you are looking at the chalet and park style properties that make up most of the current listings, budgets from £10,000 to around £23,000 are realistic, though expect to check tenure, site fees and any age restrictions carefully, since these differ substantially from buying a conventional house. If instead you want the kind of permanent house reflected in the village’s recent completed sales, priced from £80,000 up to £487,500, be prepared for a much smaller pool of choice and a different negotiation dynamic. Across either segment, with 172 properties still actively for sale and an average of 761 days on market, there is little reason to rush an offer, and plenty of scope to negotiate on price and completion terms.
Hemsby rewards buyers and sellers who do their homework rather than relying on the headline average. Set against 25.0 months of inventory and 761 days on market, the current stock of 175 listings looks like a market with plenty of choice but limited urgency, particularly among the lower value chalet and park properties concentrated on roads like Back Market Lane. We think the more interesting story is in the smaller volume of conventional housing that actually completes through the Land Registry, at prices considerably above the village’s headline average. For anyone weighing up Hemsby against its coastal neighbours, it is worth understanding which segment of the market a particular property actually belongs to before comparing it on price alone.
An investor looking at Hemsby faces a market with an average asking price of £26,080 and a price range stretching from £10,000 to £240,000, reflecting a mix of low cost chalet and park style stock and higher value conventional housing. With 172 of 175 current listings still actively for sale, an SSTC rate of +15.0% and 25.0 months of inventory outstanding, this is not a market characterised by quick turnover. Recent Land Registry completions, from £80,000 up to £487,500, show that conventional housing in the village does trade, but at considerably higher values than the current average would suggest. Rental demand and yield data are not available in this report; any investment decision should be based on direct due diligence on the specific property type and tenure involved.
Of the 20 comparable listings analysed for this report, 90% (18) are classified as Detached House and 10% (2) as Semi-Detached House. In practice, several of the detached listings, including those on Back Market Lane and the Florida Chalet Park, are chalet or park style homes priced between £10,000 and £23,000, which pulls the overall average for the “Detached” category well below what the term would suggest in most parts of Norfolk. This mix is a large part of why Hemsby’s average price of £26,080 sits so far below both its Land Registry completions and its neighbouring areas. Property type alone is not a reliable guide to value here; the specific listing and its location within the village matter considerably more.
Six current listings illustrate the lower end of Hemsby’s market. On Back Market Lane, NR29 4HP, a 2 bedroom detached house is priced at £10,000 and has already gone SSTC after 602 days on the market. Also on Back Market Lane, NR29 4HW, a 2 bedroom detached house is listed at £18,000 after 110 days, and another at £23,000 after 113 days, both still for sale. Florida Chalet, Back Market Lane, NR29 4HW is on the market at £19,000 after 302 days, while Florida Chalet Park, at the same postcode, is priced at £20,000 and has reached SSTC after the same 302 days on market. A further 2 bedroom detached house at Florida Estate, Hemsby, NR29 4HW is listed at £22,500 and has been on the market for 456 days. All six fall well within the village’s overall £10,000 to £240,000 price range, but sit firmly at the lower end of it.
The most recent Land Registry completions for Hemsby show a very different price bracket to the current chalet and park style listings. A semi-detached property at 5, Fallowfield sold for £270,000 on 29 May 2026. A detached house at 83, Common Road sold for £365,000 on 14 May 2026, and a detached house at 37, Beach Road sold for £487,500 on 24 April 2026. A flat at 13, Marsh Road sold for £165,000 on 17 April 2026. A terraced house at 9, Newport Cottages, Newport sold for £80,000 on 2 April 2026, and a detached house, Jesmondene, 103, Fakes Road, sold for £155,000 on the same date. These six completed sales, ranging from £80,000 to £487,500, sit well above the village’s current £26,080 average asking price, underlining how different the active listings are from the properties that actually complete.
Hemsby’s average price of £26,080 sits £353,279 below the Norfolk county average of £379,359, a difference of 93.1%. Days on market tell a similarly stark story: the village averages 761 days compared with 390 days across the Norfolk county average, a gap of 371 additional days. Both figures are heavily influenced by the chalet and park style stock that dominates Hemsby’s current listings; the village’s Land Registry completions, up to £487,500, sit far closer to typical Norfolk house prices than the headline average suggests.
Against its closest neighbours, Hemsby’s average price of £26,080 is the clear outlier on the coast. Scratby carries an average price of £279,750, a difference of £253,670 versus Hemsby, with an SSTC rate of +20.0%. Ormesby St Margaret averages £266,500, a difference of £240,420, with an SSTC rate of +15.0%, matching Hemsby’s own rate. Winterton-on-Sea is the highest priced of the three at £334,745, a difference of £308,665, though its SSTC rate of +5.0% is the lowest of the group. The scale of these differences again points back to Hemsby’s particular mix of chalet and park properties rather than a genuine gap in underlying house values along this stretch of coast.
Hemsby is a Norfolk coastal village long associated with its beach and the chalet and holiday park developments that line roads such as Back Market Lane. That heritage shapes the housing stock as much as it shapes the visitor experience, with static and park style homes sitting alongside more conventional streets of permanent housing further into the village. It has the feel of a place built around the seaside, family holidays and a slower pace than the larger Norfolk towns nearby, with the beach itself remaining the defining feature for residents and visitors alike. For anyone buying here, understanding which part of the village, and which type of property, they are actually looking at matters more than in most places.
Selling in Hemsby means being honest about which segment of the market a property sits in before setting a price. With 172 of the village’s 175 current listings still actively marketed and an average of 761 days on the market, vendors of chalet and park style homes in particular need to price competitively from the outset rather than testing the market with an optimistic figure. Owners of more conventional houses, the type reflected in the village’s recent Land Registry completions from £80,000 to £487,500, are working in a smaller, less crowded segment, but should still expect buyers to negotiate given the 25.0 months of inventory sitting across the wider market. Realistic pricing, informed by comparable evidence rather than the headline village average, is the single biggest factor in a successful sale here.
Selling or buying in a village where the headline average price can be misleading calls for an agent who understands the difference between Hemsby’s chalet and park stock and its conventional housing. We work across both segments and know the specific roads, from Back Market Lane to Common Road and Beach Road, where each type of property is concentrated. That local knowledge means pricing advice grounded in the right comparable evidence, whether that’s a £19,000 chalet or a house valued closer to the £365,000 mark recently achieved on Common Road, rather than a single average figure applied indiscriminately across very different properties.
The Ivybridge Collection covers Hemsby as part of its Norfolk coverage, working with owners of both the village’s chalet and park style properties and its more conventional housing stock. Our familiarity with the specific roads and property types that make up Hemsby’s market, rather than a single blended average, is what informs the advice we give to buyers and sellers contacting us about the village.
Anyone buying or selling in Hemsby should treat the village average price with caution and instead ask for evidence specific to the property in question. For chalet and park style homes, confirm tenure, site fees and any restrictions on occupancy or resale before agreeing a price, since these factors affect value as much as the asking price itself. For conventional houses, use recent Land Registry completions, such as the £270,000 sale at 5, Fallowfield or the £487,500 sale at 37, Beach Road, as your benchmark rather than the village wide average of £26,080, which is skewed by the volume of lower value listings. Given the current 761 day average time on market, there is little reason for either party to rush a transaction without proper due diligence.
This report reflects Hemsby’s property market as recorded on 1 August 2026, drawing on 175 current listings, 20 comparable properties used for the type mix analysis, and six recent Land Registry completions for the village. Figures for neighbouring areas and the Norfolk county average are drawn from the same underlying dataset. It is intended to give an accurate, evidence based snapshot of conditions at this point in time rather than a prediction of future price movement.
