What's going on with house prices on this street and nearby area?

Hi, I live on this street and will be looking to move in a couple of years so have kept an eye on the housing market but I find it really confusing what is going on with the house prices. Can anyone explain?

There are these 3 houses struggling to sell:

The last house has been removed as it has been unable to sell. Yet houses have recently sold for far higher prices:

First set:

1 and 3, small rooms and concern about what will be built on the green behind.

2 has a scrappy garden.

Need money spending on them to make them someone's home. But when you look at what's been sold, know you can get something nicer, for not a lot more.

Second set:

Had TLC, money spent and appear to be cared for.

(Based on the photos, sold prices, my personal taste and not knowing the area)

Number 1 of the second (sold) set has a 'third bedroom' on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the first floor. It sold for more than £30,000 than what the other 3bed houses are up for sale (three bedrooms on either the 1st floor, or two bedrooms on the 1st floor and a loft bedroom). And yet I wouldn't say that house is much more attractive/looks like it has had much more TLC in terms of my personal taste.

The ones selling in Nov/Dec would have been on the market around summer last year... I wonder if it's just a bit of seasonal downturn/Brexit/Coronavirus/whatever that's meant the pool of buyers has dried up a bit?

I wish house prices were this cheap in the South East. I just got a mortgage for a small 2 bed home which is priced at £300,000. My deposit was 50%. I should have just moved to Crewe and bought one of these almost outright.

I have a friend who lives in Haslington and I know houses take a long time to sell there. Ultimately it seems to be a small market so just depends whether the right buyer comes along at the right time!
