Typical prices from recorded residential sales, with ready homes and off-plan sales kept apart; a higher figure is a higher recorded price, not a recommendation. A typical price appears only with 60 or more sales behind it, and it is not an index: it moves when the mix of what sold moves. The yield before costs divides the typical new-let rent on record by the typical ready-home price over the same twelve months, October 2025 – September 2026. Where these figures come from.

A quarter's move against the one before it is mostly a change in which homes sold, and on this register it reverses the next quarter about half the time; read the levels and the change across the whole span.
