Section 01
Was 2022 a good year to buy?
A home bought at the 2022 median of £290,000 and sold at the latest median of £285,000 gained -1.7% in cash. Restate the 2022 price in 2026 money and it is worth £335,990, so the real gain is -15.2%. The first number is the one people quote; the second is the one that decided whether they were better off.
