| 1996 | £70,600 | £148,892 | 64 |
| 1995 | £63,200 | £137,387 | 48 |
In cash terms the typical DT2 0 home went from £63,200 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 84%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 47% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DT2 0 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 2015 (+32.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−31.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −31.0% | −32.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.2% | −9.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.6% | −4.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.4% |
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
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 19 sales completed in DT2 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 74 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around DT2 0
DT2 0 falls under Dorset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,041 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £721 a month here against £1,661 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £252,500 median sold price, £1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market DT2 0 is
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DT2 0 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 DT2, this sector trades 26% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: DT prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DT 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 | — | £350,000 | £455,000 (+30%) | £670,000 (+47%) | £870,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £236,000 | £285,000 (+21%) | £345,000 (+21%) | £457,000 (+32%) | £586,750 (+28%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
