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
Higher Downs	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector WA14 2	£1,050,000	£1,089,900 -4% since	£900,000 +17% since	£885,000 +19% since	£472,500 +122% 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 WA14 2 Trafford Typical price each year, semi-detached houses. A gap is a year with too few sales.
