In cash terms the typical NE9 7 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £152,500 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 71%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2009. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE9 7 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 (+21.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−10.2%). 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) | −1.0% | −3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
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.
Sales activity in NE9 7
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 48 sales completed in NE9 7. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 117 sales a year recently, against 134 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market NE9 7 is
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE9 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the NE9 district median, NE9 7 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around NE9 7
For renting purposes NE9 7 sits in Gateshead. The ONS average private rent there is £790 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £581 a month here against £1,179 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Gateshead
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £152,500 median purchase price, a rent of £790 a month (£9,480 a year) works out at a 6.2% 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.

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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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.
