In cash terms the typical YO16 home went from £43,500 in 1995 to £171,200 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 81%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO16 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 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−8.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.7% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
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, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £250,000 against £78,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

Sales activity in YO16
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
YO16 recorded 356 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 727 sales a year before the financial crisis and 405 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.
What tenants pay around YO16
For renting purposes YO16 sits in East Riding of Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £721 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £500 a month here against £1,160 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £171,200 median purchase price, a rent of £721 a month (£8,652 a year) works out at a 5.1% 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
Real sold prices by size across the YO 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.
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
