Cornwall housing price map shows big regional gaps

The latest postcode data highlights a shift in Cornwall where inland towns offer more affordable options while coastal areas remain expensive.

Cornwall Housing Market Shows Inland Affordability as Coastal Prices Remain High

New postcode data for Cornwall shows wide variation in house prices. Camborne in the TR14 area is the cheapest for homes, with an average sale price of £236,074 in the year to May. Redruth in TR15 averages £241,896, Bodmin TR31 £242,631, Camelford PL32 £257,400, and Liskeard PL14 £263,317, reflecting affordability in inland towns. Fowey in PL23 has the highest average price among areas with at least 50 sales, at £630,786, followed by Padstow PL28 at £606,095. Other coastal towns such as St Agnes and Wadebridge also show higher values, while inland towns demonstrate stronger affordability with prices in the £236k to £263k range. The report also lists the year on year changes, with Padstow dropping 21.9 percent to the level of £606,095 and Camelford down 19.7 percent. The data provides a useful snapshot of where buyers can look for value and where price levels are stabilizing.

The numbers tell a local story rather than a county wide trend. Inland pockets like Camborne and Bodmin offer clear value, while coastal hubs such as Padstow and Fowey remain far more expensive. The wide swings across the map suggest an uneven market where some areas are correcting quickly while others lag. For first time buyers, the inland gaps matter, but real access will still depend on supply and wages. The map style data helps residents and policymakers see where to focus housing supply and support, and it calls for clearer information about affordability and intent.
