Market Overview: ME18
ME18 recorded 36 residential sales in the twelve-month window, enough to ground the median but not so many that property-type or street-level differences wash out. Individual sales ranged from £135k to £1.02m, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
No single property type dominates — semi-detached houses led with 42% but the mix is diverse, while detached houses accounted for 28% and terraced houses accounted for 17%.
The twelve-month trend is softer than it was: the median in the second half of the window was 21.7% below the first-half median. Monthly volume was fairly consistent, giving the trend line a reliable shape.
The ME18 5AB dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 3.2%, based on ONS regional rents.
