How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-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
Downsview Drive	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector SP8 4	£250,000	£220,000 +14% since	£180,000 +39% since	£155,250 +61% since	£165,000 +52% since
North Dorset	–	Not enough sales	£227,000	£182,000	£182,000

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.

Sector SP8 4 North Dorset Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
