| 1996 | £73,800 | £155,641 | 433 |
| 1995 | £61,000 | £132,605 | 299 |
In cash terms the typical DT9 home went from £61,000 in 1995 to £307,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 132%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 25% 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 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 (+21.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.2%). 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, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £540,000 against £129,500 for a flat, 4.2 times the price.

| Terraced | £268,000 | 63 | 3,478 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −8.2% | −10.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +0.1% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 282 sales completed in DT9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 416 sales a year before the financial crisis and 313 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.
Rents around DT9
For renting purposes DT9 sits in Dorset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,041 a month (May 2026). 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 £307,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,041 a month (£12,492 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
Common questions on DT9 (Milborne Port)
How much did a house sell for in DT9 (Milborne Port)?
Are property prices falling in DT9 (Milborne Port)?
Is DT9 (Milborne Port) a good place to buy a house?
Will DT9 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 4% over five years in cash but down 24% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
DT9's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in DT9 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 27 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 4% below the DT9 median sold price.
Set against 282 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 27 homes on the market here are roughly 5 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
Of everything listed here, 28% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

- Cloverhay, Yetminster, Sherborne
- Prankerds Road, Milborne Port, Sherborne, Somerset
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in DT9 change hands
Take the 1,995 DT9 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: September completions lead with 11.1% of the total, January trails with 6.1%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 121 | 6.1% |
| February | 147 | 7.4% |
| March | 218 | 10.9% |
| April | 134 | 6.7% |

What another bedroom costs in DT
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DT area, 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 | £325,000 | £362,000 (+11%) | £419,000 (+16%) | £525,000 (+25%) | £700,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £235,500 | £280,000 (+19%) | £320,000 (+14%) | £410,000 (+28%) | £492,500 (+20%) |
| Terraced | £218,750 | £245,000 (+12%) | £270,000 (+10%) | £321,000 (+19%) | £395,000 (+23%) |
| Flat | £130,000 | £180,000 (+38%) | £239,500 (+33%) | £300,000 (+25%) | £390,000 (+30%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
