What a home in HG sells for
The HG median stands at £304,000 for 2026, built from 869 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £373,300, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
HG prices by floor area
Per square metre, HG homes have averaged around £3,550 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, HG sits 7% above the national market.

| 1995 | £60,000 | £130,431 | 2,155 |
In cash terms the typical HG home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £304,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 133%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HG 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 2002 (+29.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.5%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 29% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £515,000 against £185,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £515,000 | 216 | 24,056 |
| Semi-detached | £320,000 | 250 | 24,994 |
| Terraced | £260,000 | 257 | 22,332 |
| Flats | £185,500 | 146 | 14,252 |
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.9% | −10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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 HG
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 1,881 HG 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 3,366 sales a year before the financial crisis and 2,164 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.
The rental side of HG
For renting purposes HG sits in North Yorkshire, the local authority covering most of the HG area. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £582 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,333 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £304,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 3% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in HG
Real sold prices by size across the HG 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £325,000 | £469,995 (+45%) | £701,995 (+49%) | £980,000 (+40%) |

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

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
