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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downside | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector MK41 9 | – | £245,000 | £200,000 | Not enough sales | £146,250 |
| Bedford | £296,000 | £250,000 +18% since | £200,000 +48% since | £141,500 +109% since | £138,500 +114% 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 MK41 9, over the last five years (505 sales):
- What sells: 58% semi-detached, 19% detached, 19% terraced, 2% other, 1% flats.
- 2% sold leasehold.
- 77 sales in the last twelve months, against 178 in the same twelve months five years ago.
