Antrim and Newtownabbey, in numbers

Average home prices reached £206,000 in Antrim and Newtownabbey.

Antrim and Newtownabbey council area. July 2026. Every figure carries its own date.

Antrim and Newtownabbey’s projects show both major investment and everyday maintenance. A new manufacturing centre is open, community-centre access has improved and a play park’s reopening still needs confirmation.

January 2005 to July 2026

Antrim and Newtownabbey council area · Cash prices, before allowing for inflation

Reviewed figures: January 2005 to July 2026. This reviewed record covers fewer than 30 years, so the chart opens on all of it.

The line joins consecutive published observations.

Full history context

July 2025 to July 2026: £10,000 more per home (5.2% higher).

Cash prices, before allowing for inflation. Changes do not show affordability without local earnings and household circumstances.

Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

Northern Ireland uses quarterly house-price observations repeated across months; repeated months are not new transactions.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

These are selected council-sourced projects, not the whole council programme.

The suggested action sequences are analysis, not approved budgets or delivery commitments.

Project locations have not been verified as ward impact footprints. Empty cost or funding fields mean no reviewed figure, not zero.
