In cash terms the typical DH9 7 home went from £27,500 in 1995 to £80,000 in 2026, roughly 2.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 34%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 38% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DH9 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 (+70.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−27.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.9% | +1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in DH9 7
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, 53 sales completed in DH9 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 233 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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.
Reading the DH9 7 market
This is a thin market: 53 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. Within DH9, this sector trades 27% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around DH9 7
The local authority for DH9 7 is County Durham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £80,000 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 9.6% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DH: the cost
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.
