In cash terms the typical HU9 1 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £129,500 in 2026, roughly 2.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 34%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 36% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU9 1 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 2023 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−21.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.2% | +0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.0% | −1.8% |
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 HU9 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in HU9 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 230 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 HU9 1 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HU9 1 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 tenants pay around HU9 1
For renting purposes HU9 1 sits in Kingston upon Hull, City of. The ONS average private rent there is £690 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £497 a month here against £980 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Hull, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£690 a month is £8,280 a year, which against the £129,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
