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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Straight Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CO3 9 | £320,000 | £291,500 +10% since | £220,000 +45% since | £176,000 +82% since | £171,000 +87% 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 CO3 9, over the last five years (560 sales):
- What sells: 45% detached, 28% semi-detached, 16% terraced, 9% flats, 2% other.
- 9% sold leasehold, and 29% were new builds.
- 71 sales in the last twelve months, against 130 in the same twelve months five years ago.
