In cash terms the typical YO26 5 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 143%: 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 13% 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 YO26 5 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 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−9.4%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 63 sales completed in YO26 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 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.
Rents around YO26 5
The local authority for YO26 5 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 £290,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in YO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the YO area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,746 | £362,000 (+34%) | £546,000 (+51%) | £702,500 (+29%) |

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