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.

Postcode sector BL8 1 £258,750 £195,250 +33% since £155,000 +67% since £129,000 +101% since £152,000 +70% since
Bury £265,000 £222,000 +19% since £157,000 +69% since £133,000 +99% since £139,000 +91% since

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.
