Both figures are median sold prices from the same Land Registry data, over the same complete calendar years; the current year is left out of both because it is not finished. A median also moves when the mix of what sold moves, so treat a difference of a few points as noise rather than as a trend.
The figures above describe the whole district. For one address in CO8, a full property report adds its energy certificate, sale history and nearby sales, and estimates its value. Postcode reports are free; your first full report is free too.
Figures are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid data, which records sales lodged for registration in England and Wales. It excludes transfers that were not at open-market value, and the most recent two months are incomplete. Repossessions and portfolio transfers are left out of these medians.
