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.

Hardly any new homes: 0.4% of sales in the last 12 months
914 new homes have been sold in Cirencester since 1995; the share peaked at 28% in 2012.
New-build share of sales

A new home sold for a median £530,594
against £340,000 for a home sold on, 56% 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.
