Was 2011 a good year to buy?
A home bought at the 2011 median of £176,000 and sold at the latest median of £285,000 gained +61.9% in cash. Restate the 2011 price in 2026 money and it is worth £269,739, so the real gain is +5.7%. The first number is the one people quote; the second is the one that decided whether they were better off.
