In cash terms the typical NE37 2 home went from £33,500 in 1995 to £102,500 in 2026, roughly 3.1 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 41%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 40% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE37 2 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 2002 (+53.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−35.9%). 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) | −35.9% | −37.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.6% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.2% | −2.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
NE37 2 recorded 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 85 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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.
Rents around NE37 2
NE37 2 falls under Sunderland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £519 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £102,500 median purchase price, a rent of £701 a month (£8,412 a year) works out at a 8.2% 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.
The shape of the NE37 2 market
This is a thin market: 20 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 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
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.
