How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Downs | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BH19 2 | £325,000 | £346,250 -6% since | £270,000 +20% since | £212,000 +53% since | £195,000 +67% since |
| Purbeck | – | Not enough sales | £234,500 | £205,000 | £180,000 |
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.
How homes change hands in BH19 2, over the last five years (424 sales):
- What sells: 29% flats, 26% detached, 23% terraced, 17% semi-detached, 5% other.
- 31% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 76 sales in the last twelve months, against 185 in the same twelve months five years ago.
