House prices per square metre in YO24

In cash terms the typical YO24 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 148%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. 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 YO24 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 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−4.2%). 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) | −3.8% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £405,000 against £168,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
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, 321 sales completed in YO24. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 654 sales a year before the financial crisis and 388 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 tenants pay around YO24
The local authority for YO24 is York, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,182 a month is £14,184 a year, which against the £275,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
What is for sale in YO24 right now
Everything above is what homes in YO24 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 46 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 7% above the YO24 median sold price.
22% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in YO: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the YO area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
