How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector MK42 8 | £320,000 | £260,000 +23% since | £207,000 +55% since | £160,000 +100% since | £157,500 +103% since |
| North Bedfordshire | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
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 MK42 8, over the last five years (681 sales):
- What sells: 33% semi-detached, 31% terraced, 22% detached, 9% flats, 4% other.
- 9% sold leasehold, and 3% were new builds.
- 111 sales in the last twelve months, against 187 in the same twelve months five years ago.
