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
Spring Road – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales £120,000
Postcode sector IP4 5 £285,000 £252,500 +13% since £207,250 +38% since £165,288 +72% since £145,500 +96% since
Ipswich £260,500 £230,900 +13% since £187,000 +39% since £141,000 +85% since £138,000 +89% 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.
