Posted on Saturday, November 1, 2025
Morecambe’s housing market continues to show quiet strength and stability this autumn. Despite a slight slowdown compared to last year, the town remains one of the most active parts of the district, with 92 homes sold in October — more than neighbouring Lancaster. It’s a clear sign of steady confidence, even as we head into the darker, wetter months when activity usually cools.
There’s a sense that Morecambe has found its rhythm. Sellers remain motivated, with 114 new homes coming to market in October, and buyers are taking time to make thoughtful choices from a growing pool of available properties — now standing at 959. While some people are waiting to see what the upcoming Autumn Budget might bring, many are still pressing ahead, drawn by affordability, lifestyle, and opportunity.
It’s a market built on balance — active, well-supplied, and driven by sensible pricing rather than speculation — and that’s exactly what’s keeping Morecambe moving forward.
Here are your figures for October...
When we look at what’s selling across Morecambe, it’s clear that the affordable end of the market is driving activity. The majority of sales in October were between £125,000 and £250,000, accounting for 58 transactions, while a further 17 homes sold for under £125,000. This reflects strong demand from first-time buyers, downsizers, and local movers who continue to see Morecambe as excellent value for money.
By property type, semi-detached and terraced homes led the way, with 27 and 25 sales respectively. These homes remain popular for their practicality, location, and affordability — often offering outdoor space and good access to schools and transport links. Bungalows also performed well, with 19 sales, showing that single-storey living continues to appeal to retirees and those looking to future-proof their next move.
Across the town, demand remains consistent, from Heysham through to Bare and Torrisholme, with LA3 1, LA3 3, and LA4 5 among the most active postcodes. The message is clear — buyers are still out there, but they are focused on well-priced, good-quality homes that represent value and comfort.
The average property price in Morecambe now stands at £176,015, marking a whopping 31% increase over the past five years. This long-term growth tells a very positive story — one of rising confidence, regeneration, and renewed appeal along our coastline. While price rises over the past 12 months have been steadier, this is exactly what helps keep the market balanced and sustainable.
Looking closer at individual property types, terraced homes and semi-detached properties have led the way, with prices per square foot up 4% and 3.8% respectively in the last year. Detached homes have seen modest growth of 0.8%, while apartments have softened slightly, down 9.3%, largely due to increased supply and fewer investment buyers.
This gentle levelling is no bad thing — it helps prevent overheating and supports long-term market stability. Morecambe’s property values continue to reflect growing confidence in the town’s future, especially with regeneration projects, improved connectivity, and lifestyle appeal all driving sustained interest.
For buyers and sellers, Morecambe’s market remains one of balance and opportunity. For buyers, there’s now more choice than we’ve seen in recent years, with prices rising steadily rather than sharply. This makes it easier to plan a move with confidence and to buy at a fair, sustainable level. Affordability continues to be one of Morecambe’s key strengths, especially for first-time buyers and families who want more space without leaving the coast.
For sellers, this is a market that rewards realistic pricing and strong presentation. Homes that are well-prepared and priced sensibly are still selling well, particularly those in the £125,000–£250,000 range. Stability means that sellers can move forward knowing their next home is likely to hold its value too.
Of course, some buyers are waiting to see what the Autumn Budget brings later this month. There’s talk of possible Stamp Duty or tax changes, but even so, confidence in Morecambe remains strong. The market here is built on affordability and demand — two things that will keep it moving whatever the Chancellor announces.

As we head into November, there are now 959 homes available for sale across Morecambe, giving buyers plenty of choice and creating stronger competition for sellers. The average time to find a buyer is now 104 days, with completions taking a further 115 days on average — so if you’re hoping to move by spring, now is the ideal time to list your home.
With so much choice available, buyers are taking their time and comparing carefully, meaning presentation, pricing, and your agent’s marketing strategy matter more than ever. If your home has been on the market for some time, take a step back, listen to viewer feedback, and look closely at what’s selling nearby. Often, a small tweak in presentation or price can make all the difference.
Ultimately, success in today’s market comes down to three things — sensible pricing, great presentation, and a proactive agent who truly understands how to position your home. Morecambe’s market remains affordable, confident, and full of opportunity as we head toward the end of 2025.
