The market has experienced notable contraction, with prices falling 19.5% from the 2021–2022 peak. Current median values sit around £390,000, reflecting a moderating market after a sharp correction from 2023 onwards.
Property Types and Price Differences — Terraced homes dominate the market by volume and form the middle ground at £397,000, while flats offer the most affordable entry point at £251,000. Semi-detached properties average £495,000, and detached homes command significantly higher prices at £759,000—roughly three times the cost of a typical flat. This spread illustrates a market accommodating a broad range of buyer profiles.
Price Trends Over Time — The market peaked in 2022 at £593,000 before declining sharply through 2023 and stabilising thereafter. Recent 12-month pricing at £377,000 remains below the five-year mean of £497,000, indicating the market has not yet returned to earlier highs.
What Stands Out — Terraced homes account for over one-third of all sales, establishing them as the backbone of local transactions. The wide price range—from £118,500 to £680,000 in recent data—reflects how property type and condition create substantial variation within this Hertfordshire town.
