In cash terms the typical HU9 3 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £135,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 73%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU9 3 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.0%). 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) | −2.5% | −4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.4% |
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 3
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
HU9 3 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 180 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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 shape of the HU9 3 market
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HU9 3 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 3 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around HU9 3
HU9 3 falls under Kingston upon Hull, City of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £690 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £497 a month for a typical one-bed to £980 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Hull, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £135,000 median purchase price, a rent of £690 a month (£8,280 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in HU: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the HU area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
