Sold House Prices in Oldham (2026)

Property Market Overview — Oldham has seen substantial transaction activity over five years, with nearly 14,000 sales recorded. The median price of £176,000 sits well below the mean of £231,749, suggesting a market where most properties are more affordable than average, with occasional higher-value sales pulling the overall figure up. Recent 12-month data shows a notable shift downward, with the average price dropping to £120,375.

Property Types and Price Differences — Terraced homes dominate the market, accounting for nearly half of all sales at an average of £150,581. Semi-detached properties command roughly 50% more, averaging £222,495, while detached homes are significantly higher at £383,569—around 2.5 times the price of terraced homes. Flats are the cheapest option at £148,963 and represent a small segment of the market.

Price Trends Over Time — The market contracted sharply over the five-year period, declining 45.9% from earlier peaks. Prices climbed to £267,254 in 2023 before dropping considerably, with the last year showing a steeper fall to £120,375, marking a departure from the £231,000–£222,000 range seen in 2021–2022 and 2024–2025.

What Stands Out — The recent price collapse is the defining feature, with the 12-month average less than half the five-year median. The wide spread between minimum (£110,000) and maximum (£462,500) recent sales reflects diverse neighbourhoods, though terraced and semi-detached homes form the backbone of trading activity.
