IPSWICH PROPERTY MARKET INFO
The size of the property market in IP1 is 15523 homes. Given that the nominal growth rate in this postcode district (IP1) has been about 8% over the last 5 years, it would be reasonable to assume that this is somewhere where the economy cannot support property price growth above the national average. This could be because the area is very rural or is recovering from industrial decline and doesn’t offer sufficient employment opportunities or local amenities to induce people to move to the area. However, areas of this type tend to offer reasonable transport to other places in the vicinity and so benefit from secondary economic growth as the effects of a successful regional hub emanate outwards. Average property prices in this postcode district over the last three months have been approximately £145144. When examining the ability of consumers to further extend themselves in the face of increasing property prices, many commentators pay close attention to the price earnings ratio. Price Earnings Ratio in this postcode district is 8.1. New transactions as a percentage of overall sales are 6.2%.
