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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Meadows | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BB3 0 | £177,000 | £143,500 +23% since | £120,000 +48% since | £105,000 +69% since | £117,250 +51% 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 BB3 0, over the last five years (870 sales):
- What sells: 48% terraced, 23% semi-detached, 20% detached, 9% other, 1% flats.
