In cash terms the typical HU9 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £125,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 80%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HU9 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 (+21.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−12.7%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 60% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £220,000 against £110,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

Sales activity in HU9
Sales per year, counted
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
HU9 recorded 306 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 869 sales a year before the financial crisis and 383 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.

The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
