In cash terms the typical YO21 1 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £216,000 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 82%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the YO21 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 2003 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.0% | −21.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in YO21 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, 28 sales completed in YO21 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 172 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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.
Reading the YO21 1 market
Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO21 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.
What tenants pay around YO21 1
The local authority for YO21 1 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 £216,000 median sold price, £833 a month is £9,996 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: YO prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the YO area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

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.
