South Walsham’s current snapshot, taken on 27 September 2026, shows an average asking price of £622,810 across 21 properties on the market in the village. Of these, 9 are already sold subject to contract, leaving 12 still actively seeking a buyer. That split, a 42.9% SSTC rate, combined with an average of 110 days on market, points to a village currently classified as a sellers’ market. Asking prices here span a wide £210,000 to £1,350,000, reflecting a mix of smaller starter homes and larger waterside or period properties typical of this stretch of the Broads.
South Walsham at a glance, based on the current snapshot dated 27 September 2026:
The clearest trend in South Walsham at present is pace. An average of 110 days on market is 136 days fewer than the 246-day Norfolk county average, and the 42.9% SSTC rate, with 9 of 21 listed properties already under offer, confirms that homes here are being agreed at a rate well above what the wider county is currently managing. Recent completed sales recorded by the Land Registry, ranging from £367,000 in February 2026 to £650,000 in June 2026, show no single price band dominating, which is consistent with a market absorbing a genuinely varied mix of stock rather than one type of property driving activity.
With 9 of the 21 properties currently listed in South Walsham already sold subject to contract, and only 12 remaining actively available, the village sits on the sellers’ side of the ledger. A 42.9% SSTC rate is a meaningfully strong conversion rate, comparable to the pace seen in Upton, one of its nearest neighbours. For a buyer, this means fewer properties to choose from relative to demand, and for a seller, a reasonable prospect of agreeing a sale within a shorter window than the Norfolk average suggests is typical elsewhere in the county.
Momentum in South Walsham currently favours sellers. An average of 110 days on market is well below the 246-day county figure, a gap of 136 days, and with 9 of the 21 current listings already under offer, the pace of agreement here looks considerably brisker than much of the wider Norfolk market. Nothing in the current figures suggests this is cooling. A 42.9% SSTC rate alongside the village’s 110-day average days on market is the signature of a market still moving at a reasonable clip rather than stalling.
Buyers approaching South Walsham at present should expect less room to negotiate hard on price than the Norfolk average might suggest is normal. With 9 of 21 current listings already sold subject to contract and an average of only 110 days on market, well-priced homes are not sitting long enough to invite the kind of drawn-out offer process buyers might expect in a slower market. That said, 12 properties remain actively available, so there is still genuine choice. Sellers, for their part, are in a position to hold closer to asking price, particularly on properties priced within the more active part of the £210,000 to £1,350,000 range, though the wide price spread itself is a reminder that not every property in the village will attract the same level of competing interest.
We have walked buyers down Church Close, along Upton Road and out towards Low Road and Broadacres in South Walsham often enough to know the pattern here is not uniform. A cottage near the Broad draws a different kind of interest than a family house set back off Chameryhall Lane, and pricing that ignores this distinction tends to sit on the market longer than it should. What we have seen directly in recent months, properties agreeing a sale within the village’s current 110-day average, backs up what the figures show: realistic pricing from day one, pitched with reference to what has actually completed locally rather than aspiration alone, is what moves a South Walsham sale from listed to sold subject to contract.
South Walsham’s figures describe a market that is both active and varied. The 42.9% SSTC rate, with 9 of 21 current listings under offer, sits comfortably ahead of the pace seen in several nearby villages, and the 110-day average days on market is a fraction of the 246-day Norfolk county figure. Yet the £210,000 to £1,350,000 asking price range is wide enough that averages alone do not tell the full story: a £622,810 average price is being drawn from a genuinely mixed pool of stock, not a narrow band of similar homes. The six Land Registry sales completed between February and August 2026, split evenly between semi-detached and detached properties and ranging from £367,000 to £650,000, confirm that both type and setting continue to influence what a South Walsham home actually achieves, rather than price moving in lockstep with size or style alone.
Buying in South Walsham at present means moving with reasonable purpose. With an average of 110 days on market and 9 of the 21 current listings already sold subject to contract, homes that are well presented and sensibly priced are not hanging around. Buyers should be ready to view promptly, have finances in order before making an offer, and understand that the £210,000 to £1,350,000 price range in the village covers everything from modest starter homes to substantial waterside and period properties, so it pays to be clear on which end of that range actually suits the budget and the lifestyle sought. Expect some competition on the better-presented homes, and build in time to walk the village itself, Church Close, Upton Road, Low Road and the lanes around the Broad all have a distinctly different feel.
Our view is that South Walsham’s current figures reflect a village performing well rather than overheating. An average price of £622,810 sits close to neighbouring Panxworth, which averages £611,000, a difference of only £11,810, suggesting the two villages are being valued on broadly similar terms by the market. What sets South Walsham apart is pace: a 42.9% SSTC rate and 110-day average days on market are stronger figures than Panxworth’s own 10.0% SSTC rate implies for that village, and we think this comes down to the particular appeal of South Walsham’s setting on the Broads, which continues to draw steady, genuine demand rather than speculative interest.
For an investor looking at South Walsham, the headline figures are a £622,810 average price, a 42.9% SSTC rate, and an average of 110 days on market, all of which point to reasonably strong current demand relative to the wider Norfolk county, where average days on market runs to 246. The £210,000 to £1,350,000 asking price range gives scope to target different segments of the market within the same village. By comparison, neighbouring Ranworth averages a higher £800,000 with a 0.0% SSTC rate at the time of this snapshot, a reminder that higher average prices in this part of Norfolk do not automatically translate into faster-moving stock, and that South Walsham’s combination of price and pace is not simply replicated next door.
The six Land Registry sales completed in South Walsham between February and August 2026 split evenly, 3 semi-detached and 3 detached, and the prices do not divide neatly by type. The semi-detached sales ranged from £375,000 (6, Low Road) to £585,000 (Horseshoe Barn, Chameryhall Lane), while the detached sales ranged from £367,000 (5, Broadacres) to £650,000 (17, Church Close). This overlap suggests that plot, setting and condition are doing at least as much work in determining final price here as the basic distinction between semi-detached and detached, a pattern worth bearing in mind against the village’s wider £210,000 to £1,350,000 asking price range.
South Walsham currently has 21 properties listed, of which 9 are already sold subject to contract and 12 remain actively on the market awaiting an offer. Asking prices across this live stock span £210,000 to £1,350,000, a range wide enough to include modest village homes alongside more substantial waterside and period properties. With a 42.9% SSTC rate and an average of 110 days on market across the village, the properties still actively available represent genuine, current opportunity rather than stock that has struggled to attract interest.
These are completed sales recorded by the Land Registry for South Walsham, distinct from the current listings and SSTC properties described above, none of which have yet completed.
Across these six transactions, the split is even, 3 semi-detached and 3 detached, with prices ranging from £367,000 to £650,000.
South Walsham’s average asking price of £622,810 sits below the Norfolk county average of £859,610, a difference of £236,801, or 27.5% lower than the wider county figure. The village also moves considerably faster: an average of 110 days on market compares to 246 days across Norfolk as a whole, a gap of 136 days. Taken together, these figures describe a village that offers relative affordability against the county’s wider average while also agreeing sales markedly quicker than the Norfolk norm, a combination that helps explain its current classification as a sellers’ market.
Set against its nearest neighbours, South Walsham’s average price of £622,810 is closest to Panxworth‘s £611,000, a difference of only £11,810. Upton averages a lower £466,538, a difference of £156,271, and currently records a slightly stronger 46.2% SSTC rate against South Walsham’s 42.9%. At the other end, Ranworth averages a considerably higher £800,000, a difference of £177,190, yet its SSTC rate currently stands at 0.0%, against South Walsham’s notably more active 42.9%. The pattern across these three comparisons is that South Walsham combines a mid-range price point with a pace of sale that comfortably outperforms its higher priced neighbour Ranworth and its closer priced neighbour Panxworth, while running only marginally behind Upton’s own strong conversion rate at the time of this snapshot.
South Walsham is a Norfolk Broads village built around its own stretch of water, South Walsham Broad, with the National Trust’s Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden close by and the unusual twin-naved church of St Mary and St Lawrence standing as the village’s best-known landmark. Away from the water, the residential heart of the village runs along roads such as Church Close, Upton Road, Low Road and Broadacres, with Chameryhall Lane marking the quieter, more rural edge. It is a village that suits people who want genuine access to the Broads without the tourist pressure of the better-known honeypots nearby, and the current mix of asking prices, from £210,000 up to £1,350,000, reflects everything from compact village homes to substantial waterside properties.
Selling in South Walsham at present means working with a market that is moving reasonably well. With an average of 110 days on market and a 42.9% SSTC rate, 9 of the 21 current listings already under offer, vendors are not facing the long wait that some parts of Norfolk are currently seeing, where the county average sits at 246 days. That said, with asking prices across the village ranging from £210,000 to £1,350,000, pricing still needs to be anchored to what has actually completed locally, the six Land Registry sales between February and August 2026 ranged from £367,000 to £650,000, rather than set purely by aspiration. Presentation and realistic positioning from the outset remain the surest way to sell within, rather than beyond, the village’s current average timeframe.
Choosing the right agent in South Walsham matters because the village’s stock is genuinely varied, from compact homes on Low Road to substantial properties on Church Close and out along Chameryhall Lane, and pricing each correctly depends on knowing which recent sale is the honest comparable. We have worked with vendors and buyers across these roads and track both the current listings and the completed Land Registry sales closely, which matters in a village currently running a 42.9% SSTC rate and a 110-day average days on market, figures that reward agents who price accurately from day one rather than those who overreach and let a property drift.
The Ivybridge Collection covers South Walsham as part of its wider Norfolk coverage, tracking the village’s current listings, SSTC activity and completed Land Registry sales alongside those of its immediate neighbours. That means a valuation or an offer conversation about a South Walsham property is grounded in what is actually happening on Church Close, Upton Road, Low Road and Broadacres right now, not a generic county-wide assumption.
Anyone pricing a property in South Walsham should weigh the current asking figures against what has actually completed. An average asking price of £622,810 across current stock is one data point, but the six Land Registry sales completed between February and August 2026, ranging from £367,000 to £650,000, are a more reliable guide to what a specific type and setting of home will actually achieve. Given the village’s current 42.9% SSTC rate and 110-day average days on market, both well ahead of the Norfolk county average of 246 days, realistic pricing from the outset is especially important: a sellers’ market still rewards accuracy over ambition, and overpricing even modestly risks losing the pace advantage the village currently holds.
This South Walsham market report reflects a snapshot taken on 27 September 2026, drawing on 21 current listings, their SSTC status, completed Land Registry sold prices, and comparison data for the three nearest villages and the Norfolk county average. Figures such as average days on market and SSTC rate are calculated from the live listings data available at the time of the snapshot and will shift as properties are listed, agreed and completed.
If you are considering a move in South Walsham, whether buying into a village currently running a 42.9% SSTC rate or selling into a market averaging 110 days to agree a sale, we would be glad to talk through what these figures mean for a specific property.
