In cash terms the typical YO26 6 home went from £83,500 in 1995 to £348,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 92%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO26 6 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 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.2%). 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) | −17.2% | −19.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.9% | −7.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −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.
Sales activity in YO26 6
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 18 YO26 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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.
The shape of the YO26 6 market
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO26 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within YO26, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around YO26 6
The local authority for YO26 6 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.
Against the £348,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,182 a month (£14,184 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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. 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
