Property Market Overview — Colchester's property market has processed over 22,700 transactions across five years, with homes averaging £375,232. The median price of £324,995 sits notably below the mean, indicating that higher-priced properties pull the average upward. The market has grown modestly at 2.3% over the period.
Property Types and Price Differences — Detached homes command the highest prices at £500,101, roughly 2.7 times the cost of flats (£185,278). Semi-detached properties sit comfortably in the middle at £331,962, while terraced homes at £280,771 bridge the gap between semis and the most affordable flats. Detached houses represent the largest share of sales by volume, with 7,558 transactions.
Price Trends Over Time — Prices climbed steadily between 2021 and 2023, peaking at £385,978, before softening slightly in recent years. The last 12 months show an average of £372,854—below the five-year mean but consistent with early-period values.
What Stands Out — The £423,500 spread between the minimum (£177,500) and maximum (£600,000) recent prices reveals considerable diversity. Detached properties dominate the market by transaction count, suggesting strong demand for larger family homes in the area.
