In cash terms the typical DT8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £326,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DT8 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.
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. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £430,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

What DT8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.4% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |

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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 96 DT8 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 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the DT8 market
Only 96 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DT8 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.
Rents around DT8
For renting purposes DT8 sits in Dorset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,041 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £721 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,661 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £326,200 median sold price, £1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
