Today's HX5 prices, from the sold record
The HX5 median stands at £175,000 for 2026, built from 58 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £207,700, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in HX5
Measured by floor area, the last five years of HX5 sales average about £2,200 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.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so HX5 trades 39% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical HX5 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 75%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HX5 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 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−10.6%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £423,000 against £97,200 for a flat, 4.4 times the price.

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.
Sales activity in HX5
How many homes change hands
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 117 HX5 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 253 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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.
How HX5 trades
This is a thin market: 117 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What homes rent for around HX5
HX5 falls under Calderdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £750 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £543 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,116, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Calderdale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£750 a month is £9,000 a year, which against the £175,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
HX5's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in HX5 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 16 homes on the market right now, from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 31% below the HX5 median sold price.
38% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in HX
Real sold prices by size across the HX area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £367,500 (+44%) | £510,000 (+39%) | £611,250 (+20%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
