In cash terms the typical SR8 1 home went from £51,400 in 1995 to £184,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 65%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SR8 1 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 2010 (+52.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−23.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SR8 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SR8 1
Sales per year, counted
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, 32 sales completed in SR8 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 a year over the last five. 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 homes rent for around SR8 1
The local authority for SR8 1 is County Durham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £638 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £447 a month for a typical one-bed to £982 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, County Durham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £184,000 median sold price, £638 a month is £7,656 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the SR8 1 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SR8 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within SR8, this sector trades 98% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Are property prices falling in SR8 1 (Easington)?
Is SR8 1 (Easington) a good place to buy a house?
Will SR8 1 prices rise from here?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 16% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
