In cash terms the typical DH9 8 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £122,500 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 76%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DH9 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 2004 (+47.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−26.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DH9 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.1% | +3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
DH9 8 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 136 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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 8
The local authority for DH9 8 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.
Against the £122,500 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 6.2% 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.
Reading the DH9 8 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DH9 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within DH9, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

These cover the whole DH9 district, not just DH9 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 18% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in DH: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DH area, straight 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.
