In cash terms the typical SR2 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £146,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 82%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SR2 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 (+41.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−11.9%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £302,500 against £102,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

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.
Sales activity in SR2
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 327 sales completed in SR2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 855 sales a year before the financial crisis and 402 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 shape of the SR2 market
Among the 8 measurable districts of its area, SR2 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What tenants pay around SR2
The local authority for SR2 is Sunderland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £519 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,073 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sunderland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£701 a month is £8,412 a year, which against the £146,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

When homes in SR2 change hands
Take the 2,386 SR2 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: September completions lead with 9.8% of the total, January trails with 6.9%. The spread between the busiest and quietest months is small, so timing matters less here than in most markets; price and presentation decide more than the calendar.

Bedroom by bedroom: SR prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SR 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 | £172,500 | £184,500 (+7%) | £235,000 (+27%) | £289,950 (+23%) | £379,995 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £108,975 | £130,000 (+19%) | £151,100 (+16%) | £215,000 (+42%) | £275,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £87,000 | £84,000 (-3%) | £104,000 (+24%) | £154,950 (+49%) | £179,995 (+16%) |
| Flat | £49,000 | £76,000 (+55%) | £99,000 (+30%) | £145,000 (+46%) | £215,000 (+48%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
