How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Postcode sector WA14 5 £439,000 £340,250 +29% since £255,000 +72% since £210,000 +109% since £178,000 +147% since
Trafford £410,000 £337,500 +21% since £254,000 +61% since £191,000 +115% since £178,000 +130% 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.
