| 1996 | £47,500 | £100,175 | 437 |
| 1995 | £46,600 | £101,301 | 396 |
In cash terms the typical NE9 home went from £46,600 in 1995 to £175,000 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 2014. 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 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 (+17.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−6.9%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £320,000 against £123,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.9% | −9.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
NE9 recorded 360 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 642 sales a year before the financial crisis and 403 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 NE9
The local authority for NE9 is Gateshead, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £790 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £175,000 median sold price, £790 a month is £9,480 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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.

What you could buy in NE9 now
Everything above is what homes in NE9 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 2 homes on the market right now, from an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 31% below the NE9 median sold price.
50% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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 NE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NE area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
