In cash terms the typical M38 9 home went from £26,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 210%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

Year-on-year change in the M38 9 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 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−30.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

How many homes change hands in M38 9

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.

Over the last twelve months of data, 15 sales completed in M38 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 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 homes rent for around M38 9

The local authority for M38 9 is Salford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,162 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £883 a month here against £1,761 for four or more bedrooms.

Against the £175,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,162 a month (£13,944 a year) works out at a 8.0% 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.

What kind of market M38 9 is

This is a thin market: 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.

37% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: M prices by size

What homes of each size actually sold for across the M area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

The risers and the fallers
