The Corby property market recorded 1,141 residential sales in the 12 months to 31 May 2026, with a median sale price of £225,000. This places Corby £30k below the Northamptonshire county median of £255,000, and £60k below the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Corby have recorded a moderate decline, a year-on-year change of -4.3%. Within Northamptonshire, Corby ranks 7th by price out of 7 principal towns, and 4th by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Corby median prices moved from £225,000 in Q3 2024 to £220,000 in Q4 2025, a change of -2.2% over 5 quarters. Corby has now recorded 3 consecutive quarters of price falls. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

North Northamptonshire Council, the local planning authority covering Corby, approved 424 residential planning applications and refused 82 in the last 12 months, with 279 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 84%.

Those applications propose around 2,409 homes, an estimated £517.9m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

North Northamptonshire Council covers more than one town in Northamptonshire, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Corby alone.
