A postcode sector like M24 2 is a single group of streets within M24 (Manchester), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

M24 2 sold prices: where the market stands

In the M24 2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £190,000, from 63 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £211,200, sitting modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

M24 2 prices by floor area

A square metre of M24 2 home has cost about £2,510 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so M24 2 trades 33% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical M24 2 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 165%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2025; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2025 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+35.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 63 sales completed in M24 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 302 sales a year before the financial crisis and 151 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.

What kind of market M24 2 is

The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within M24, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What homes rent for around M24 2

M24 2 falls under Rochdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £829 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £603 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,338, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Against the £190,000 median purchase price, a rent of £829 a month (£9,948 a year) works out at a 5.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
