Property Prices
The average property price in the Fife postcode area is £195K, with a median price of £160k. Over the last twelve months, the average price has remained stable, indicating sustained demand despite challenges posed by economic factors such as fluctuating mortgage rates and inflation.

In terms of sales, there were 6686 property transactions in Fife. However, sales experienced a slight decrease of 6.28% (-448 transactions) due to the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and adjustments in mortgage interest rates.
Across Scotland, analysing property sales by price range reveals that the majority of properties were sold in the £20,000 to £145,000 range, accounting for 36,828 (36.4%) properties. This was followed by the £145,000 to £250,000 range, with 32,727 (32.4%) properties sold.
Fife features a variety of neighbourhoods, each with its own property price dynamics. The most affordable areas in Fife include towns like Cowdenbeath and Lochgelly, with average property prices below the region's average. On the other hand, the most expensive areas include St Andrews and Dunfermline, with average property prices surpassing the region's average.
When comparing average property prices and percentage changes in prices by postcode area, Fife demonstrates resilience. It stands out as one of the top fifteen places for affordable postcode areas in Scotland.
Regarding property types, flats generally present as more budget-friendly options compared to houses in Fife. Nevertheless, it's noteworthy that the cost of newly built homes tends to be higher compared to older properties.
