In cash terms the typical DT7 home went from £66,200 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 192%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DT7 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 2003 (+35.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £615,000 against £295,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

What DT7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.8% | −15.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 66 sales completed in DT7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 178 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 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 DT7
DT7 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.
£1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, which against the £420,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.
How DT7 trades
This is a thin market: 66 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. By median price, DT7 presently tops its postcode area.

What another bedroom costs in DT
Real sold prices by size across the DT area, straight 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%) |

| Flat | £140,000 | £212,000 (+51%) | £307,500 (+45%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
