In cash terms the typical NR31 8 home went from £45,800 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 136%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the NR31 8 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 (+27.9% 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.
What NR31 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.6% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 70 sales completed in NR31 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 257 sales a year before the financial crisis and 154 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.
The rental side of NR31 8
NR31 8 falls under Great Yarmouth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £585 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,313, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Great Yarmouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £235,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in NR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NR area. 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.
