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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Postcode sector M3 5 | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Salford | £220,000 | £175,000 +26% since | £110,000 +100% since | £87,750 +151% since | £90,000 +144% 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 M3 5, over the last five years (970 sales):
- What sells: 92% flats, 5% other, 2% terraced.
- 99% sold leasehold, and 62% were new builds.
- 51 sales in the last twelve months, against 37 in the same twelve months five years ago.
