House prices in Devon rose by just over six per cent in a year, Land Registry
figures show.
In April 2007, the average price of a house in the county stood at £203,264
compared to £190,704 the previous April.
April’s figures also represent a rise of 0.5 per cent on March’s house prices.
The average cost of a detached house in Devon in April was £306,247, semis
costs £188,032 and the average price of a terraced house stood at £154,543.
The figures put Devon above the national average cost of a house, which stood
at £179,935 in April.
The busiest month for moving house in Devon between April 2006 and this
February was in July last year, when 1,870 properties were sold. The quietest
month was in February with 1,124 homes sold.
