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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Willows | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector S74 9 | – | £250,000 | £185,000 | £152,000 | Not enough sales |
| Barnsley | £300,000 | £247,500 +21% since | £193,750 +55% since | £174,000 +72% since | £179,950 +67% 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 S74 9, over the last five years (457 sales):
- What sells: 42% semi-detached, 28% terraced, 17% detached, 7% other, 7% flats.
- 13% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 77 sales in the last twelve months, against 123 in the same twelve months five years ago.
