The market has experienced notable volatility in recent years, peaking at £290,464 in 2020 before moderating considerably. The downward trajectory from 2020's high through to 2025's average of £203,587 suggests a market correction following pandemic-era price inflation, with transaction volumes remaining robust at over 1,400 sales annually in most years.

The area has seen particularly strong sales activity, with 2024 recording an impressive 2,263 transactions despite average prices settling around £206,131.

The town's affordability and consistent market activity make it an area of interest for first-time buyers and investors seeking entry points into the property market, though the recent price adjustments reflect a recalibration from the elevated values seen during 2019-2020.
