How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wakefield Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO1 2 | £350,000 | Not enough sales | £257,000 +36% since | £165,500 +111% since | £240,000 +46% since |
| Colchester | £442,960 | £420,000 +5% since | £339,995 +30% since | £250,000 +77% since | £246,000 +80% 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.
How homes change hands in CO1 2, over the last five years (1,135 sales):
- What sells: 45% terraced, 24% flats, 21% semi-detached, 6% detached, 4% other.
- 24% sold leasehold.
- 204 sales in the last twelve months, against 300 in the same twelve months five years ago.
