Eastbourne market commentary
What the latest official data may mean for buyers, renters and investors.
Eastbourne’s latest UK House Price Index reading puts the average home at £252,391 in April 2026. That is a monthly fall of 1.3%.
It also leaves prices 3.3% below the same month a year earlier. The move follows a stronger March, when the average price stood at £255,624 and monthly growth was 1.4%.
Eastbourne’s average private rent stood at £1,162 in May 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That was up by £2 from April, so the month-on-month move was modest.
The latest monthly change was 0.1%, which suggests rents are still rising, but only gradually.
Eastbourne’s labour market picture for 2025 is mixed, and it gives useful context for local affordability. The town had a resident population of 104,259 in 2024.
That is a sizeable local base, but the earnings profile remains below the Great Britain average.
