Today's DT3 5 prices, from the sold record
The DT3 5 median stands at £261,500 for 2026, built from 62 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £313,500, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in DT3 5
A square metre of DT3 5 home has cost about £3,750 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so DT3 5 trades 8% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical DT3 5 home went from £55,800 in 1995 to £261,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 116%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 35% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the DT3 5 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 2002 (+36.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−23.2%). 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) | −23.2% | −25.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.8% | −8.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DT3 5
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.
The register shows 62 DT3 5 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 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 148 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.
The rental side of DT3 5
The local authority for DT3 5 is Dorset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, which against the £261,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in DT
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DT 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.
