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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skylark | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector SN26 7 | – | £425,000 | £370,000 | Not enough sales | £279,950 |
| Swindon | £420,000 | £370,500 +13% since | £309,995 +35% since | £230,000 +83% since | £229,497 +83% 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 SN26 7, over the last five years (252 sales):
- What sells: 71% detached, 18% semi-detached, 6% terraced, 4% other.
- 2% sold leasehold, and 53% were new builds.
- 25 sales in the last twelve months, against 52 in the same twelve months five years ago.
