How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downside Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BA3 4 | £432,500 | £382,500 +13% since | £318,000 +36% since | £285,975 +51% since | £285,000 +52% since |
| Mendip | – | £430,000 | £330,000 | £290,000 | £269,475 |
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.
How homes change hands in BA3 4, over the last five years (594 sales):
- What sells: 42% detached, 27% semi-detached, 23% terraced, 7% other, 2% flats.
- 3% sold leasehold, and 4% were new builds.
- 112 sales in the last twelve months, against 151 in the same twelve months five years ago.
