How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, 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
Downs Road – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales £107,000
Postcode sector LU1 1 – £122,500 £105,500 £65,000 £98,000
Luton £160,000 £155,000 +3% since £127,500 +25% since £95,000 +68% since £104,000 +54% 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.
