How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bures Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector IP14 2 | £206,500 | £189,500 +9% since | £158,000 +31% since | Not enough sales | £121,500 +70% since |
| Mid Suffolk | £230,000 | £221,250 +4% since | £179,995 +28% since | £132,750 +73% since | £128,825 +79% 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 2, over the last five years (443 sales):
- What sells: 41% detached, 35% semi-detached, 23% terraced, 2% other.
- 0% sold leasehold, and 4% were new builds.
- 101 sales in the last twelve months, against 167 in the same twelve months five years ago.
