In cash terms the typical DH7 7 home went from £28,500 in 1995 to £117,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 89%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 39% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DH7 7 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+44.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−26.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −26.9% | −28.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in DH7 7
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 41 DH7 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 185 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around DH7 7
DH7 7 falls under County Durham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £447 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £982, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £117,000 median sold price, £638 a month is £7,656 a year, a gross yield of 6.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How DH7 7 trades
This is a thin market: 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the DH7 district median, DH7 7 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in DH: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DH area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
