HU9 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HU9 (Hull). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical HU9 2 home went from £27,500 in 1995 to £86,400 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 45%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HU9 2 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 2004 (+42.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−17.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.0% | +5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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 HU9 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 17 HU9 2 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 240 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 a year over the last five. 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.
What tenants pay around HU9 2
HU9 2 falls under Kingston upon Hull, City of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £690 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £497 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £980, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Hull, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £86,400 median purchase price, a rent of £690 a month (£8,280 a year) works out at a 9.6% 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.
The shape of the HU9 2 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HU9 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the HU9 district median, HU9 2 sits 31% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: HU prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the HU 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.
