How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Kells | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CA28 9 | £115,000 | £86,250 +33% since | £83,937 +37% since | £75,000 +53% since | £76,500 +50% since |
| Copeland | – | £90,000 | £83,000 | £78,750 | £78,000 |
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 CA28 9, over the last five years (805 sales):
- What sells: 45% semi-detached, 26% terraced, 25% detached, 2% other, 2% flats.
- 5% sold leasehold, and 27% were new builds.
- 133 sales in the last twelve months, against 201 in the same twelve months five years ago.
