Property Market Overview — Bury St Edmunds has seen robust transaction activity with nearly 12,000 sales over five years, reflecting a reasonably active market. Prices have retreated by 7.2% across this period, with the median sitting at £315,000 and mean at £389,567, indicating a wide spread between typical and higher-value properties.
Property Types and Price Differences — Detached homes command the market at an average of £463,635, roughly double the price of terraced properties at £273,633. Flats are notably the most affordable option at £214,041, while semi-detached homes bridge the gap at £299,142. Detached properties also dominate transaction volume, accounting for nearly 40% of all sales.
Price Trends Over Time — The market peaked in 2022 at £438,867 but has softened since, with recent 12-month prices at £334,166—the lowest in the dataset. This represents a significant shift from the volatile 2021–2023 period toward a more settled, lower baseline.
What Stands Out — The gap between detached and flat prices is particularly pronounced, with detached homes selling for over twice the price. Recent listings show considerable range, from £210,000 to £590,000, suggesting distinct submarkets within the town rather than uniform pricing.
