| 1996 | £76,000 | £160,281 | 117 |
| 1995 | £72,800 | £158,256 | 78 |
In cash terms the typical YO23 3 home went from £72,800 in 1995 to £432,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 173%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO23 3 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 (+35.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.9%). 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) | +8.1% | +5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in YO23 3
The year-by-year sales count
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, 34 sales completed in YO23 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 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 kind of market YO23 3 is
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO23 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the YO23 district median, YO23 3 sits 20% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of YO23 3
The local authority for YO23 3 is York, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,182 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £863 a month here against £1,725 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, York
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £432,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,182 a month (£14,184 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: YO prices by size
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
