The prices on this page are arrived at as follows:
- We have included the prices of all publicly available homes we can find listed for sale, Sold subject to contract (or equivalent), To Let and Let in England.
- We have excluded non-home property listings, such as garages, land, chip shops, holiday caravans etc
- We have excluded any homes listed for sale with an asking price of less than £20,000
- We have displayed the total number of homes used in the calculation so you can see the sample size
- The average (mean) is calculated in the conventional way, adding up the total of all the prices and dividing it by the total number of homes.
- The median is calculated in the conventional way, finding the asking price of the mid-point of all homes in the sample (or, if the total is an even number, the middle two, divided by two)
- There is no seasonal adjustment.
- There is no ‘weighting’.
- There is no other manipulation of the calculation
- It’s intended for comparison purposes, so you can compare the average and median, sold v unsold, and see the ratio of properties for sale to sold, and the same ratio in lettings.
