In cash terms the typical YO23 1 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £341,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 227%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO23 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 2002 (+23.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−11.1%). 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) | +3.4% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in YO23 1
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
YO23 1 recorded 78 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 287 sales a year before the financial crisis and 155 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 rental side of YO23 1
The local authority for YO23 1 is York, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,182 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £863 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,725, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, York
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £341,200 median sold price, £1,182 a month is £14,184 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in YO
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.
| 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
