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
Downside	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector CT19 5	£362,500	£344,250 +5% since	£250,000 +45% since	£180,000 +101% since	£195,000 +86% since
Shepway	–	Not enough sales	£230,000	£178,000	£175,000

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.

Sector CT19 5 Shepway Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
