SR5 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SR5 (Sunderland). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SR5 3 home went from £55,400 in 1995 to £130,800 in 2026, roughly 2.4 times the price. Deflate those figures and little remains: roughly 9% in real terms, which says the pounds changed more than the homes did. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 18% 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 SR5 3 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 2021 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−29.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SR5 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.2% | −0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SR5 3 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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.
Rents around SR5 3
SR5 3 falls under Sunderland, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £130,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.4%. 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.
How SR5 3 trades
This is a thin market: 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
SR5's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 61 homes at the moment, listed by 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SR5 district, not just SR5 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
33% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Laing Close, Castletown
- Ross Street, Sunderland, Tyne and Wea...
- Devonshire Street, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in SR: the cost
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%) |
| Semi-detached | £115,000 | £134,995 (+17%) | £184,500 (+37%) | £265,000 (+44%) | £382,500 (+44%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
