Property Market Overview — Oldham's market is characterised by steady activity, with over 11,200 sales across five years. The median price of £187,000 sits notably below the mean of £217,459, reflecting a market where most transactions cluster at the lower end but with significant high-value outliers. Recent prices average £232,455, showing sustained upward momentum in the last two years.
Property Types and Price Differences — Terraced homes and flats anchor the affordable segment at around £153,000–£159,000 and together account for the majority of sales. Semi-detached properties at £226,493 sit in the mid-range, while detached homes command roughly 2.5 times the price of terraced homes, averaging £385,470. This range reflects a market with clear segmentation from entry-level to established family properties.
Price Trends Over Time — The market has risen 34.3% over five years, with consistent gains from 2021 to 2024 before a slight dip in 2023. Recent momentum has resumed, with 2025 and 2026 figures trending above £230,000, suggesting prices have stabilised at these elevated levels compared to the pre-2023 average of around £209,000.
What Stands Out — The price gap between the lowest and highest recent sales (£142,500 to £800,000) is exceptionally wide, indicating a diverse market spanning multiple neighbourhood contexts and property conditions. Terraced homes dominate by volume at nearly half of all transactions, making them the market's core segment.
