How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area Now 5 years ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
Library Road – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector BH12 2 £313,750 £280,000 +12% since £235,500 +33% since £181,750 +73% since £181,000 +73% since
Poole – Not enough sales £245,000 £190,000 £182,000

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.
