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
Downs Road	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector WA10 4	£190,000	£158,000 +20% since	£140,000 +36% since	£115,750 +64% since	£142,750 +33% 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.

Sector WA10 4 St Helens Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
