131 sales were registered in NE33 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £120,000. The mean works out at £136,700, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
NE33 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £33,500 | £70,650 | 432 |
| 1995 | £32,000 | £69,563 | 380 |
In cash terms the typical NE33 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £120,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 73%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE33 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 (+44.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.4% | −13.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £245,000 against £90,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 262 sales completed in NE33. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 759 sales a year before the financial crisis and 303 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.
Rents around NE33
For renting purposes NE33 sits in South Tyneside. The ONS average private rent there is £726 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £508 a month here against £1,006 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Tyneside
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£726 a month is £8,712 a year, which against the £120,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.3%. 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.
Reading the NE33 market
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. In its area's price order NE33 comes 58 of 59, towards the cheaper end of the table.

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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
