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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evans Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector NR32 2 | – | £232,500 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Waveney | – | Not enough sales | £235,000 | £197,500 | £184,995 |
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 NR32 2, over the last five years (731 sales):
- What sells: 76% terraced, 10% semi-detached, 7% detached, 4% other, 3% flats.
- 2% sold leasehold.
- 122 sales in the last twelve months, against 200 in the same twelve months five years ago.
