In cash terms the typical DH9 6 home went from £27,000 in 1995 to £108,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 84%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DH9 6 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 2000 (+46.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.0%). 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) | −10.0% | −12.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in DH9 6
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
DH9 6 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 197 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 homes rent for around DH9 6
The local authority for DH9 6 is County Durham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £447 a month here against £982 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£638 a month is £7,656 a year, which against the £108,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the DH9 6 market
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DH9 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DH area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £194,950 | £270,000 (+38%) | £415,000 (+54%) | £550,000 (+33%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
