| 1995 | £68,200 | £148,256 | 30 |
In cash terms the typical YO26 7 home went from £68,200 in 1995 to £412,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 178%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO26 7 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 (+62.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−27.8%). 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) | −8.3% | −10.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
YO26 7 recorded 12 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 46 sales a year over the last five years against 40 before the financial crisis. 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.
What tenants pay around YO26 7
For renting purposes YO26 7 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £582 a month here against £1,333 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £412,500 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 2.4% 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.
What kind of market YO26 7 is
Only 12 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO26 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within YO26, this sector trades 37% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Is YO26 7 (Acomb) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in YO26 7 (Acomb)?

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%) |
| Terraced | £182,000 | £210,000 (+15%) | £242,500 (+15%) | £318,000 (+31%) | £427,850 (+35%) |
| Flat | £135,000 | £180,000 (+33%) | £254,750 (+42%) | £300,000 (+18%) | — |
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.
