In cash terms the typical YO12 6 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 53%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO12 6 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 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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, 44 sales completed in YO12 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 128 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.
How YO12 6 trades
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO12 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around YO12 6
The local authority for YO12 6 is North Yorkshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £582 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,333 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £195,000 median sold price, £833 a month is £9,996 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: 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.

YO12's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 87 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

34% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Mustang Road, Seamer, Scarborough, Scarborough
- Queens Parade, Scarborough, Scarborough
- Weydale Avenue, Scarborough, Scarborough
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: YO prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the YO area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £182,000 | £210,000 (+15%) | £242,500 (+15%) | £318,000 (+31%) | £427,850 (+35%) |
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
