In cash terms the typical DH7 8 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £136,000 in 2026, roughly 2.7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 25%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DH7 8 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 2002 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−9.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DH7 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.7% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.1% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −1.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 61 sales completed in DH7 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 193 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around DH7 8
For renting purposes DH7 8 sits in County Durham. The ONS average private rent there is £638 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £447 a month for a typical one-bed to £982 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £136,000 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 5.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 6% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in DH
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DH area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £194,950 | £270,000 (+38%) | £415,000 (+54%) | £550,000 (+33%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
