Take the 248 registered 2026 sales in NN9 and the middle price, the median, is £250,000. The mean lands at £288,900, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in NN9

| 1995 | £40,000 | £86,954 | 416 |
In cash terms the typical NN9 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NN9 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−5.4%). 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 year (since 2025) | +2.0% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.3% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
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, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £366,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 416 sales completed in NN9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 757 sales a year before the financial crisis and 407 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.
What homes rent for around NN9
For renting purposes NN9 sits in North Northamptonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £984 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,518, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Northamptonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £250,000 median sold price, £984 a month is £11,808 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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 happens to NN9 prices now?

Everything above is what homes in NN9 sold for. The live side of the market holds 34 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 20% above the NN9 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (416 in NN9), the 34 homes listed here amount to about 4 weeks of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. That is a thin shelf: buyers here are choosing from little, and a well priced home is unlikely to wait long.

What is for sale against what sells in NN9
Sellers of detached homes in NN9 have company: 44% of current listings against 33% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.

Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (3 here).
The NN9 sales calendar
Take the 2,510 NN9 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 10.3% of the total, April trails with 6.6%. With so little between the busiest and quietest months, NN9 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.

What another bedroom costs in NN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the NN 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.
| 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%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
