How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| James Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WS7 3 | – | £303,950 | £239,995 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Lichfield | £487,500 | £400,000 +22% since | £315,000 +55% since | £274,500 +78% since | £274,975 +77% 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 WS7 3, over the last five years (279 sales):
- What sells: 38% semi-detached, 25% detached, 19% terraced, 10% other, 8% flats.
- 15% sold leasehold, and 8% were new builds.
- 62 sales in the last twelve months, against 177 in the same twelve months five years ago.
