In cash terms the typical YO23 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 191%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO23 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 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What YO23 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.0% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £470,000 against £244,000 for a flat, 1.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in YO23
How many homes change hands
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 278 sales completed in YO23. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 503 sales a year before the financial crisis and 282 a year over the last five. 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 YO23
YO23 falls under York, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,182 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £863 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,725 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, York
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £360,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,182 a month (£14,184 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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
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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
