Calendar years; a year’s median needs 5 sales of the type, so gaps are years with fewer.
Prices are as paid, not adjusted for inflation. Standard (category A) sales only; Land Registry adds a sale when it is registered, so the newest months fill in later.

5% of homes sold in the last 12 months were new builds
317 new homes have been sold in Ramsey since 1995; the share peaked at 36% in 2024.
New-build share of sales

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £380,622
against £250,000 for a home sold on, 52% more, over three years. New homes are often a different mix from the homes sold on, so part of the gap is size and type.
