In cash terms the typical DT9 3 home went from £62,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 158%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DT9 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 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−16.8%). 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) | −0.7% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 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.
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, 29 sales completed in DT9 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 102 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.
Reading the DT9 3 market
This is a thin market: 29 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within DT9, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around DT9 3
The local authority for DT9 3 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.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DT prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the DT area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
