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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elder Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector TA20 1 | £246,500 | £216,000 +14% since | £172,000 +43% since | £146,000 +69% since | £143,000 +72% since |
| South Somerset | – | £232,000 | £185,000 | £167,000 | £161,000 |
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.
How homes change hands in TA20 1, over the last five years (937 sales):
- What sells: 32% terraced, 27% detached, 26% semi-detached, 10% flats, 6% other.
- 11% sold leasehold, and 13% were new builds.
- 131 sales in the last twelve months, against 223 in the same twelve months five years ago.
