In cash terms the typical CH49 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 137%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CH49 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−4.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £357,500 against £92,500 for a flat, 3.9 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +4.3% | +1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.3% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in CH49
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 370 CH49 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 517 sales a year before the financial crisis and 365 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around CH49
CH49 falls under Wirral, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £558 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,222, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wirral
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £245,000 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Is CH49 (Greasby) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CH49 (Greasby)?
What happens to CH49 prices now?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 23% over five years in cash but down 3% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
What you could buy in CH49 now
Everything above is what homes in CH49 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 152 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 14% above the CH49 median sold price.
Set against 370 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 152 homes on the market here are roughly 5 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
Of everything listed here, 3% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

CH49: the homes on offer and the homes that go
In CH49, terraced homes made up 16% of recent sales yet only 0% of today's listings. Demand outrunning supply for a type is the clearest sign a fairly priced one will go quickly.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 30% | 25% |
| Semi-detached | 48% | 50% |
| Terraced | 0% | 16% |
| Flats | 22% | 9% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (17 here).
When homes in CH49 change hands
Across the 2,126 sales completed in CH49 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.6% of the total) and April the quietest (6.6%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 154 | 7.2% |
| February | 158 | 7.4% |
| March | 226 | 10.6% |
| April | 140 | 6.6% |
| May | 151 | 7.1% |
| June | 182 | 8.6% |
| July | 180 | 8.5% |
| August | 189 | 8.9% |

The price of an extra bedroom in CH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CH area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £220,000 | £245,000 (+11%) | £290,995 (+19%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £490,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £167,500 | £190,000 (+13%) | £220,000 (+16%) | £285,000 (+30%) | £365,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £140,000 | £155,000 (+11%) | £160,000 (+3%) | £195,000 (+22%) | £225,000 (+15%) |
| Flat | £100,000 | £135,000 (+35%) | £180,000 (+33%) | £236,750 (+32%) | £295,000 (+25%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
