Property Market Overview — Wigan has seen substantial transaction volume over five years, with nearly 18,200 sales recorded. The median price of £170,000 sits well below the mean, indicating a market shaped by a significant number of lower-priced properties. Recent prices have fallen sharply, with the last 12 months averaging £163,285—a marked decline from the five-year mean of £211,769.
Property Types and Price Differences — Semi-detached homes dominate the market and command the highest volume at over 7,000 sales, averaging £187,450. Terraced properties are nearly as common and considerably cheaper at £132,530, while detached houses cost roughly 2.7 times more than terraced homes at £322,310. Flats represent the smallest segment and are the most affordable option at £112,534.
Price Trends Over Time — The market has declined significantly over five years, dropping 25.5% from 2021 levels. After a dip in 2022, prices recovered somewhat through 2024, but have fallen again sharply in 2025–2026, with recent averages now approaching the lower end of the historical range.
What Stands Out — The gap between median and mean prices reveals a bifurcated market, with a substantial concentration of properties below £170,000 offsetting higher-priced sales. Recent listings span £80,000 to £230,000, though the sustained downward pressure suggests buyer activity is concentrated in the lower quartile.
