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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Widget Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BH11 8 | £325,000 | £286,250 +14% since | £245,000 +33% since | £217,000 +50% since | £192,000 +69% since |
| Bournemouth | – | Not enough sales | £324,000 | £250,000 | £242,500 |
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 BH11 8, over the last five years (519 sales):
- What sells: 30% detached, 30% semi-detached, 24% terraced, 13% flats, 3% other.
- 14% sold leasehold.
- 91 sales in the last twelve months, against 128 in the same twelve months five years ago.
