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
Hardly any new homes: 0.1% of sales in the last 12 months
2,757 new homes have been sold in Southport since 1995; the share peaked at 8% in 2022.
New-build share of sales

A new home sold for a median £286,497
against £216,250 for a home sold on, 32% 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.
