As an independent estate agent in Worthing, I track this patch closely, and a month ago buyers had the upper hand. That's changed. We're now sitting in what I'd call a genuinely balanced market, and that's good news whichever side of the transaction you're on.

Why are there fewer homes for sale in East Worthing?

The number of homes for sale in East Worthing has dropped from 111 to 103 over the past few weeks. Eight fewer sounds small, but across a patch that stretches from the character streets near Farncombe Road down towards Brighton Road, it changes how quickly the best homes move.

For buyers, the choice has narrowed. In August you could take your time. Now, if a home is well priced and well presented, it won't hang around.

How fast are homes selling in East Worthing?

East Worthing is seeing an average of 9 sales completed each month. Set against 103 homes currently on the market, that's roughly 9% of stock turning over monthly. That's a steady, healthy pace, not a frenzy and not a standstill.

Recent sales back this up. A home on Chesswood Road went for £895,000. One on Farncombe Road sold for over £2 million. People are still confident about putting down roots here.

What does this mean if you're selling in East Worthing?

Fewer homes for sale works in your favour. You're not competing with a street full of neighbours all listing at once, and that scarcity supports your price.

That said, balanced doesn't mean easy. The average sold price across the postcode over the past year sits at £309,931, against an average asking price of £385,313. That gap tells its own story: buyers are active, but they're not paying over the odds for homes that haven't been presented properly. If you want the asking price to hold, the home still needs to earn it.

I can give you an honest figure based on what's actually selling in East Worthing right now, not a number designed to win the listing. See how I work with sellers.

What does this mean if you're buying in East Worthing?

You've still got decent choice, but not endless choice. The good homes, whether that's a terrace near Brighton Road or something quieter towards Farncombe Road, are being snapped up by those 9 buyers completing every month. If something fits, don't sit on it.

East Worthing isn't racing right now. It's moving at a steady, sensible pace, which is exactly how a market by the coast should feel.
