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: 0.4% of sales in the last 12 months
1,276 new homes have been sold in Oldbury since 1995; the share peaked at 17% in 2013.
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 £265,000
against £222,500 for a home sold on, 19% 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.
