House prices across Cumbria's CA postcode area have moved in sharply different directions over the past year, with some communities enjoying double-digit growth whilst others have seen average values fall by more than 20 per cent.

Leading gains are Beckermet, where average house prices have climbed 19.6 per cent to £261,387, followed by Maryport up 16.7 per cent to £160,574 and Egremont up 13.9 per cent to £162,106. The biggest declines are in Workington, down 24 per cent to £191,437, and Keswick, where prices have dropped 23.8 per cent despite remaining the highest in the region at £466,172. Holmrook has also fallen, down 21 per cent year-on-year to £385,637.

The shifts underscore how unpredictable the property market has become across the county. Whilst Lake District locations like Keswick have seen steep falls, west coast areas have attracted stronger demand. Maryport, described as one of the county's more affordable harbour towns, has bucked the downward trend, suggesting resilient buyer interest despite overall regional volatility.
