Median House Price
Q4 2025Warri's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $368,000 in the December 2025 quarter, roughly 69% below where it sat a year earlier. That said, only two sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level. Zoom out: prices have climbed roughly 47% over the past decade — 4.0% per year on average.
