According to Rightmove, the average price of a property sold in Dewsbury over the last year was £168,430. This is more than £100,000 cheaper than the average UK house price of £284,691, per the UK House Price Index. This shows that Dewsbury is an affordable area when it comes to property.
This average price is 6% down on last year and 2% compared to the 2021 peak. This subdued performance was characteristic of the previous year, as 2023 was challenging for the UK property market. But is this disappointing growth in Dewsbury going to continue?
Savills predicts that the UK property market is set to return to growth from 2025, and healthy growth will kick back in from 2026. Yorkshire and the Humber, where Dewsbury is located, is forecast to experience 20.2% capital value growth by 2028. This is one of the most optimistic figures of all regions and higher than the projected UK average of 17.9%.
