Liskeard’s house prices surge as St Agnes prices fall
Worth a look at what’s happened to house prices on your own street over the past year, because the gap between Cornwall’s best and worst performing areas is bigger than most people would guess. In one part of the county, the typical home has gained nearly a fifth in value in twelve months. In another, values have dropped by almost as much in the opposite direction.
That’s according to a new House Growth Report from digital marketing agency Online Marketing Surgery and garden furniture company MG Timber, which has ranked Cornwall’s neighbourhoods by the change in house prices between September 2024 and September 2025.

How the figures were worked out
The report draws on the Office for National Statistics’ median house price data for Cornwall’s MSOA areas, comparing the twelve months to September 2024 against the twelve months to September 2025 to calculate the percentage change in each one.
Worth remembering that these are median figures across a whole neighbourhood, not individual sale prices, so a handful of big or small transactions in a smaller area can move the percentage more than the same number would in somewhere like Falmouth or St Ives. Still, a swing of nearly 20% either way in a single year is hard to put down to noise alone.
