What the numbers mean
Reading the Worthing market, from both sides.
Figures tell you what has happened. What they mean for one home, and one decision, depends on the details.
If you are selling
Prices have eased
The median sold price in Worthing is 3.5% lower than in the previous 12 months. When prices are softening, buyers compare more and negotiate harder, so the price a home launches at carries more weight than it does in a rising market.
When sales complete
Completions in Worthing have peaked in March, October and November over the last four years. Sales usually take a few months to complete, so those peaks reflect offers agreed well before.
If you are buying
More room to negotiate
With the median price 3.5% below the previous year, sellers in Worthing are meeting a more cautious market. That can create room to negotiate, but a lower price is only a good buy if the home stands up to a survey and the lender's valuation.
Plenty of leasehold
32% of homes sold in Worthing were leasehold, mostly flats. Lease length, service charges and ground rent all affect value and whether a lender will lend, so they deserve attention before an offer, not after.

Are house prices in Worthing going up or down?
The median sold price in Worthing is −3.5% compared with the previous 12 months. Over five years (2020 to 2025), the median has changed by +16%. Averages move with the mix of homes sold, so a change of a few per cent can reflect which homes happened to sell as much as a change in values.

How many homes sell in Worthing each year?
1,767 homes sold in Worthing in 2025, +3.3% on 2024. These are standard open-market sales at full price; repossessions, sales to companies and buy-to-let purchases that Land Registry can identify are excluded.
Why might a home in Worthing sell for more or less than these figures?
These are medians across every home sold, so they mix flats with large detached houses and plain homes with exceptional ones. A single home's value depends on what comparable homes nearby have sold for, its condition and the market at the time. Sales also take weeks or months to appear in Land Registry records, so the latest months are still filling in.
