Section 01
Was 2000 a good year to buy?
A home bought at the 2000 median of £80,000 and sold at the latest median of £285,000 gained +256.3% in cash. Restate the 2000 price in 2026 money and it is worth £160,000, so the real gain is +78.1%. The first number is the one people quote; the second is the one that decided whether they were better off.
