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.

127 new homes have been sold in St Agnes since 1995; the share peaked at 35% in 2014.
New-build share of sales

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £435,000
against £477,500 for a home sold on, 9% less, over three years. New homes are often a different mix from the homes sold on, so part of the gap is size and type.
