In cash terms the typical NE37 1 home went from £37,500 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 102%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE37 1 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 2018 (+48.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−26.4%). 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) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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 NE37 1
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 39 NE37 1 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 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market NE37 1 is
This is a thin market: 39 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. Within NE37, this sector trades 35% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around NE37 1
The local authority for NE37 1 is Sunderland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £519 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,073, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £165,000 median sold price, £701 a month is £8,412 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

NE37's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 16 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole NE37 district, not just NE37 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 44% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.
Moving up a bedroom in NE: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NE area. 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 | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |
| Semi-detached | £157,000 | £168,000 (+7%) | £216,000 (+29%) | £335,000 (+55%) | £521,000 (+56%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
