How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grasmere Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector LU6 3 | £495,000 | £449,500 +10% since | £395,500 +25% since | £291,500 +70% since | £245,000 +102% since |
| South Bedfordshire | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £265,000 |
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 LU6 3, over the last five years (935 sales):
- What sells: 32% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 21% flats, 19% detached, 3% other.
- 22% sold leasehold.
- 146 sales in the last twelve months, against 277 in the same twelve months five years ago.
