In cash terms the typical DH9 9 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £145,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 91%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DH9 9 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 2025 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−20.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DH9 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −17.8% | −19.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 28 DH9 9 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 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
The rental side of DH9 9
DH9 9 falls under County Durham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £145,000 median purchase price, a rent of £638 a month (£7,656 a year) works out at a 5.3% 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.
How DH9 9 trades
Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DH9 9 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. Against the DH9 district median, DH9 9 sits 32% higher, marking it as a dearer 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
