Price per square foot
Knowing the average house price in South Woodham Ferrers is not much use. However, knowing average price per square foot can be quite useful. Price per sqft allows some comparison between properties of different size. We define price per square foot as the sold price divided by the internal area of a property:
£ per sqft = price ÷ internal areaE.g. 8, Thorins Gate, South Woodham Ferrers, sold for £322,500 on Jul-2024. Given the internal area of 602 square feet, the price per sqft is £534.

The chart below is called a histogram, it helps you see the distribution of this house price per sqft data. To make this chart we put the sales data into a series of £ per sqft 'buckets' (e.g. £445-£464, £464-£483, £483-£501 etc...) we then count the number of sales with within in each bucket and plot the results. The chart is based on 314 sales in South Woodham Ferrers (CM3 5) that took place in the last two years.
