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.

Area	Now	5 years ago	10 years ago	15 years ago	20 years ago
Ryecroft	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector CH2 4	£212,500	£169,950 +25% since	£131,000 +62% since	£134,000 +59% since	£135,000 +57% since
Chester	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	£167,750

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.

Sector CH2 4 Chester Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
