In cash terms the typical DT8 3 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £326,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 150%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DT8 3 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 2000 (+36.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−13.1%). 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) | −5.4% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −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 DT8 3
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
DT8 3 recorded 46 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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.
What homes rent for around DT8 3
For renting purposes DT8 3 sits in Dorset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,041 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £721 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,661, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £326,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.
What kind of market DT8 3 is
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DT8 3 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.

Are property prices falling in DT8 3 (Broadwindsor)?
Where do DT8 3 prices go next?

What another bedroom costs in DT
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
