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 ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago

Postcode sector IP33 1 – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales £231,000
St Edmundsbury – Not enough sales £232,000 £171,000 £165,975

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.
