In cash terms the typical YO11 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 86%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO11 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−6.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What YO11 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.9% | −5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £265,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 361 YO11 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 671 sales a year before the financial crisis and 452 a year over the last five. 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 YO11 market
By median price YO11 sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.
What homes rent for around YO11
For renting purposes YO11 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £582 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,333, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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 YO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the YO 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,746 | £362,000 (+34%) | £546,000 (+51%) | £702,500 (+29%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £220,000 (+16%) | £269,950 (+23%) | £370,000 (+37%) | £445,000 (+20%) |

| Flat | £135,000 | £180,000 (+33%) | £254,750 (+42%) | £300,000 (+18%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
