How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shear Brow | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BB1 8 | £205,000 | £160,000 +28% since | £127,000 +61% since | £121,250 +69% since | £130,500 +57% since |
| Blackburn | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
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 BB1 8, over the last five years (826 sales):
- What sells: 37% detached, 35% semi-detached, 22% terraced, 4% flats, 2% other.
- 9% sold leasehold, and 31% were new builds.
- 97 sales in the last twelve months, against 223 in the same twelve months five years ago.
