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: 2.7% of sales in the last 12 months
848 new homes have been sold in Honley since 1995; the share peaked at 24% in 1997.
New-build share of sales

New builds and tenure · 3 years
A new home sold for a median £425,000
against £262,500 for a home sold on, 62% 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.
