Property Types and Price Differences — Terraced homes dominate the market and account for the majority of sales at £118,666 on average. Semi-detached properties are roughly 55% more expensive, while detached homes command nearly three times the price of terraces. Flats are the most affordable type at around £104,838.

What Stands Out — Pontyclun stands well apart from neighbouring towns at £270,469, while Ferndale sits considerably lower at £91,992. Terraced homes vastly outnumber other types, reflecting the area's traditional housing stock, and the recent price drop represents the steepest movement seen in the five-year record.
