In cash terms the typical DL16 6 home went from £38,500 in 1995 to £138,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 65%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DL16 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 2004 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DL16 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 87 sales completed in DL16 6. 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 141 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 DL16 6
For renting purposes DL16 6 sits in County Durham. The ONS average private rent there is £638 a month (May 2026). 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.
£638 a month is £7,656 a year, which against the £138,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DL area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £205,000 | £282,250 (+38%) | £444,995 (+58%) | £625,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £147,250 | £147,000 (0%) | £185,000 (+26%) | £282,000 (+52%) | £380,000 (+35%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
