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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water Head | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector PR2 3 | £216,500 | £175,000 +24% since | £156,500 +38% since | £146,000 +48% since | £144,475 +50% 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 PR2 3, over the last five years (1,243 sales):
- What sells: 48% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 17% detached, 8% flats, 2% other.
- 13% sold leasehold.
- 208 sales in the last twelve months, against 309 in the same twelve months five years ago.
