Property Market Overview
St Helens has seen nearly 11,000 property sales over the past five years, with a median price of £153,000. The market has contracted by 6.2% overall, though recent activity shows considerable volatility, with prices reaching £240,000 in mid-2024 before settling to £168,500 in the last year.
Property Types and Price Differences
Detached homes command significantly higher prices at £320,193—more than three times the cost of flats at £92,345. Semi-detached properties (£185,289) form the largest segment with over 4,100 sales, while terraced homes (£117,868) and semi-detached properties together account for most of the market activity. Flats remain the most affordable option but represent only 5% of transactions.
Price Trends Over Time
From 2021 to 2023, prices remained relatively stable around £177,000–£182,000, but 2024 saw an unusual spike to £240,000 before falling back sharply. Current prices of £168,500 are now below the early five-year average, marking a sustained downturn from the market's earlier levels.
What Stands Out
The gap between detached and terraced properties is particularly wide, with detached homes nearly 2.7 times more expensive than terraced ones. Recent price volatility—ranging from £62,500 to £421,600—suggests a diverse market with varied buyer interest across different property classes.
