In cash terms the typical NN18 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £224,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 178%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN18 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 (+40.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.1%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £325,000 against £153,200 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.1% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 NN18
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 327 sales completed in NN18. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 807 sales a year before the financial crisis and 376 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 tenants pay around NN18
For renting purposes NN18 sits in North Northamptonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £984 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,518 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £224,000 median sold price, £984 a month is £11,808 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
NN18's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in NN18 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 62 homes currently on the market from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 3% above the NN18 median sold price.
Set against 327 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 62 homes on the market here are roughly 2 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
18% 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.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

What is for sale against what sells in NN18
Terraced homes are 32% of what sold in NN18 over 2024 and 2025 but only 13% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 37% | 29% |
| Semi-detached | 38% | 33% |
| Terraced | 13% | 32% |
| Flats | 12% | 6% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side.
The NN18 sales calendar
September is when NN18 changes hands most (10.9% of the 2,358 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.1%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 145 | 6.1% |
| February | 201 | 8.5% |

What another bedroom costs in NN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NN 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 | £255,000 | £286,000 (+12%) | £325,000 (+14%) | £410,000 (+26%) | £569,995 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £212,500 | £234,995 (+11%) | £265,000 (+13%) | £317,000 (+20%) | £415,000 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £185,000 | £210,000 (+14%) | £218,000 (+4%) | £275,000 (+26%) | £310,000 (+13%) |
| Flat | £117,000 | £143,500 (+23%) | £169,000 (+18%) | £190,000 (+12%) | £250,000 (+32%) |
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.
