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.
New builds
4% of homes sold in the last 12 months were new builds
6,827 new homes have been sold in Newport since 1995; the share peaked at 28% in 2016.
New-build share of sales
Calendar years with 10 or more sales, then the last 12 months.
New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £299,995
against £205,000 for a home sold on, 46% 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.
