In cash terms the typical SR3 home went from £48,900 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 65%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 25% 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 SR3 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 (+26.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−17.8%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £317,500 against £60,200 for a flat, 5.3 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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 344 sales completed in SR3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 474 sales a year recently, against 573 a year before 2008. 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 kind of market SR3 is
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. SR3 sits 2 of 8 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around SR3
The local authority for SR3 is Sunderland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £701 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £519 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £175,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SR prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SR area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £199,972 | £270,000 (+35%) | £414,995 (+54%) | £527,500 (+27%) |

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.
