How Barn Close, Somerton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Barn Close, Somerton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2005. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £67,995 | £150,981 |
| 2000s | 2 | £87,000 | £158,488 |
The highest yearly median on record for Barn Close, Somerton is £174,500 in 2005; the lowest is £67,995 in 1997. Across the full 9-year record the cash median has moved from £67,995 to £174,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £144,170, so the real change over the whole record is +120.5% — about +10.39% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +156.6% in cash against +120.5% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Barn Close, Somerton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 36 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 36 | 100.0% | £91,250 |
| New build | 13 | 36.1% | £72,995 |
| Existing home | 23 | 63.9% | £173,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -57.9%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
Section 09
