The going rate for a home in HG2
The 2026 median for HG2 is £343,500, taken from 204 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £428,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
What a square metre costs in HG2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of HG2 sales average about £3,870 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts HG2 21% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical HG2 home went from £68,500 in 1995 to £343,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 131%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HG2 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 2003 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.6%). 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, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £621,800 against £200,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.6% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in HG2
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 452 HG2 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 829 sales a year before the financial crisis and 503 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.
Rents around HG2
For renting purposes HG2 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £582 a month here against £1,333 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £343,500 median sold price, £833 a month is £9,996 a year, a gross yield of 2.9%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in HG
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HG area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £325,000 | £469,995 (+45%) | £701,995 (+49%) | £980,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £229,475 | £265,000 (+15%) | £335,000 (+26%) | £502,250 (+50%) | £755,000 (+50%) |

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

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
