How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simkin Way | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector OL8 2 | – | Not enough sales | £150,000 | Not enough sales | £161,000 |
| Oldham | £373,450 | £320,000 +17% since | £231,375 +61% since | £214,950 +74% since | £213,650 +75% 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 OL8 2, over the last five years (527 sales):
- What sells: 51% terraced, 29% semi-detached, 14% detached, 5% other, 2% flats.
- 53% sold leasehold, and 12% were new builds.
- 78 sales in the last twelve months, against 127 in the same twelve months five years ago.
