Horsham Property Market Report: Autumn 2026

Horsham has the look of a market town that never needed to reinvent itself.

The Carfax sits at the centre, the Causeway runs off it lined with old timber-framed houses, and the countryside starts sooner than you’d expect. Most of the housing is a long way from that medieval core. Victorian terraces sit near the centre, post-war semis fill the established roads, and newer estates and flats cover the rest.

That variety is why buyers come from such different places. Families look for a house with a garden and a decent school nearby. Commuters like the trains to London and the coast. Downsizers want somewhere easy to run, and first-time buyers often start with a flat or a smaller terrace before moving up.

Sellers know that all of those buyers are watching prices closely. Anyone who has scrolled through Rightmove lately will recognise the question: what is a Horsham home actually worth now? The recorded sales answer it better than asking prices can.

What Horsham’s sales figures show

Between November 2025 and August 2026, 1,679 properties changed hands in Horsham, at an average sale price of £476,987. The median, the midpoint figure once the highest and lowest sales are set aside, was £405,000. That is about £72,000 below the average, so the more expensive sales, detached homes in particular, are pulling the average up. A buyer working to a budget should look at the lower figure as well as the higher one.

Terraced houses were the most frequently sold type, with 441 sales at an average of £368,137. They sit between flats and semi-detached homes in price. That is the range where first-time buyers stepping up from a flat, and families who want a house without the cost of a larger one, tend to look.

Detached homes came a close second for volume, with 434 sales. They are also the most expensive type by a wide margin, at an average of £720,157. That is about £268,000 more than the average semi-detached home. A good part of that extra money is buying space, as the comparison further down shows.

Semi-detached homes sold 378 times at an average of £452,377. That is roughly £84,000 more than a terraced house, and a similar number of buyers were prepared to pay it.

Flats were the least frequently sold type but still recorded 316 sales, which is a healthy number. At an average of £230,721, they are the most affordable way into Horsham, around £137,000 below the average terraced house. They are also cheaper for the space you get. Flats averaged £361 per square foot, against £449 for terraced homes.

That per square foot comparison shows a pattern across all four types. Detached homes averaged £462 per square foot, semi-detached homes £453 and terraced homes £449. Those three rates are close together, so the higher price of a detached home mostly reflects more floor space, not a higher rate for each square foot. Flats are the exception, at between £88 and £101 less per square foot than any of the house types.

For a buyer, moving from a terrace to a detached home costs roughly the same for each extra square foot, while a flat is cheaper both in total and for the space you get.
