How this area has changed
Typical prices for homes of every kind, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Molescroft | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector AL5 3 | £960,000 | £807,500 +19% since | £725,000 +32% since | £526,250 +82% since | £442,475 +117% since |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
Crime within about 500 metres. Last 12 months vs the 12 months before: 21 vs 14 (+50%)
How homes change hands in AL5 3, over the last five years (337 sales):
