In cash terms the typical YO18 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £267,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 105%, 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 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO18 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 (+29.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−8.0%). 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) | −4.5% | −6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 42% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £380,000 against £187,500 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

Sales activity in YO18
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 153 sales completed in YO18. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 193 sales a year recently, against 239 a year before 2008. 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 YO18
The local authority for YO18 is North Yorkshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £582 a month here against £1,333 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £267,500 median sold price, £833 a month is £9,996 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in YO: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the YO area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,746 | £362,000 (+34%) | £546,000 (+51%) | £702,500 (+29%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
