Norwich's average home lost £3,729 in June, the 10th steepest monthly fall of 295 English districts, though prices are still 3.6% up on the year.

The average Norwich home was worth £230,706 in June, down £3,729 on May, according to the latest UK House Price Index from HM Land Registry.

That is a fall of 1.6 per cent in a single month. Set against every local authority district in England, it is a sharp one. Norwich recorded the 10th steepest monthly drop of 295 districts, and only 113 of those 295 fell at all.

The year still looks better than the month. Prices are 3.6 per cent higher than in June 2025, when the city average was £222,633. That is a gain of £8,073 over twelve months, and it beats England as a whole, which rose 1.8 per cent to £293,262.

One caveat before any of the numbers below are used to price a house. The UKHPI figure is a mean average, not a median, so a handful of expensive sales pull it upward. It is a measure of the market, not a valuation of your street.

Flats are barely moving, terraces are not

The city average hides a wide spread by property type.

Norwich average price by property type, June 2026
TypeAverage priceChange on June 2025
Detached£467,890+3.3%
Semi-detached£295,760+4.9%
Terraced£253,883+5.1%
Flat or maisonette£145,289+0.8%
First-time buyer£207,854+3.7%

Terraced houses are doing the heavy lifting, up 5.1 per cent. Flats have effectively stood still, up 0.8 per cent over a year, which in real terms is a fall. In a city with as much flatted stock as Norwich, that gap matters: the type most first-time buyers start with is the type gaining least.

Norwich is the second cheapest place to buy in Norfolk

Average house price by Norfolk district, June 2026 Bar chart of average house prices in the seven Norfolk districts in June 2026. Broadland 315,128 pounds, up 7.2 per cent on the year; South Norfolk 312,124 pounds, up 2.0 per cent on the year; North Norfolk 300,273 pounds, up 1.7 per cent on the year; Breckland 273,851 pounds, up 2.7 per cent on the year; King's Lynn and West Norfolk 263,298 pounds, up 5.0 per cent on the year; Norwich 230,706 pounds, up 3.6 per cent on the year; Great Yarmouth 209,164 pounds, up 2.5 per cent on the year.

Broadland £315,128 (+7.2%) South Norfolk £312,124 (+2.0%) North Norfolk £300,273 (+1.7%) Breckland £273,851 (+2.7%) King's Lynn and West Norfolk £263,298 (+5.0%) Norwich £230,706 (+3.6%) Great Yarmouth £209,164 (+2.5%) Graphic by The Norwich Times Only Great Yarmouth is cheaper. The contrast that will interest anyone thinking about moving is the one on the city’s own northern boundary.

  • Broadland averages £315,128, up 7.2 per cent in a year, the biggest rise in Norfolk.
  • Norwich averages £230,706.
  • Crossing that boundary therefore costs £84,422 on the average home, and the gap widened over the past year rather than narrowing.

Norfolk as a county rose 3.6 per cent to £271,712, the same annual rate as Norwich. The East of England managed only 1.1 per cent, to £338,707.

Three months of growth after fifteen of decline

June’s fall reads differently once you look further back. Norwich spent most of 2025 with prices lower than a year earlier, bottoming at minus 5.1 per cent in November 2025. The annual figure only turned positive again in April 2026.

So the city has had three months of year-on-year growth after a long run of falls, and June has already taken some of that back.

The May figure has also been revised. When the May data was first published the Norwich average was given as £237,629. In this release it stands at £234,435, £3,194 lower. Revisions of that size are normal in the early months of the index and are worth remembering whenever a monthly figure is quoted as fact.

The sales numbers lag, and 2025 distorts them

The Land Registry does not publish sales volumes for the two most recent months, so the latest countable month for Norwich is April 2026, with 87 sales.

Comparisons with 2025 need care. The stamp duty threshold changed on 1 April 2025, and the rush to complete before it is plain in the Norwich figures:

  • March 2025: 312 sales
  • April 2025: 74 sales
  • March 2026: 126 sales
  • April 2026: 87 sales

Any “sales up on last year” claim for spring is measuring that cliff edge, not the market.

What it means for you

If you are selling, the annual figure is the one that flatters you and the monthly one is the one your buyer will quote. Both are true.

If you are buying your first home, the £207,854 first-time buyer average is £22,852 below the city average, and flats have been the cheapest way in for a year now. If you are weighing Norwich against the villages north of the city, the £84,422 difference between the city and Broadland is the number to start from, before school catchments or the drive.
