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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Downs | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WN3 6 | £210,000 | £162,750 +29% since | £135,000 +56% since | £119,950 +75% since | £120,000 +75% 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.
How homes change hands in WN3 6, over the last five years (913 sales):
- What sells: 46% semi-detached, 28% detached, 16% terraced, 8% other, 2% flats.

- 163 sales in the last twelve months, against 237 in the same twelve months five years ago.
