| 1995 | £59,800 | £129,996 | 60 |
In cash terms the typical DT9 4 home went from £59,800 in 1995 to £291,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 124%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DT9 4 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 1996 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What DT9 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.7% | −17.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −1.9% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in DT9 4
Sales per year, counted
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.
DT9 4 recorded 46 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 90 sales a year recently, against 112 a year before 2008. 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 DT9 4
DT9 4 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.
Against the £291,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,041 a month (£12,492 a year) works out at a 4.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Reading the DT9 4 market
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DT9 4 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.

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