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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| River Gardens | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector IP14 1 | £260,000 | £245,000 +6% since | £197,250 +32% since | £147,000 +77% since | £141,000 +84% since |
| Mid Suffolk | £265,000 | £250,000 +6% since | £200,000 +32% since | £159,747 +66% since | £149,601 +77% 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 IP14 1, over the last five years (1,367 sales):
- What sells: 30% semi-detached, 28% detached, 25% terraced, 14% flats, 4% other.
- 16% sold leasehold, and 28% were new builds.
- 188 sales in the last twelve months, against 314 in the same twelve months five years ago.
