In cash terms the typical SR3 2 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £208,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 91%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 24% 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 SR3 2 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 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.1%). 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 years (since 2025) | −15.1% | −17.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 58 sales completed in SR3 2. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 211 sales a year recently, against 195 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the SR3 2 market
Only 58 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SR3 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SR3, this sector trades 19% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around SR3 2
For renting purposes SR3 2 sits in Sunderland. The ONS average private rent there is £701 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £208,000 median purchase price, a rent of £701 a month (£8,412 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SR
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 | — | £199,972 | £270,000 (+35%) | £414,995 (+54%) | £527,500 (+27%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
