Today's YO30 prices, from the sold record
In the YO30 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £305,000, from 169 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £394,000, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
YO30 prices by floor area
A square metre of YO30 home has cost about £3,810 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts YO30 7% above the country at large.
A typical YO30 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £58,000 | £122,319 | 441 |
| 1995 | £56,100 | £121,953 | 458 |
In cash terms the typical YO30 home went from £56,100 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the YO30 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 (+30.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £428,000 against £188,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

| Semi-detached | £288,500 | 54 | 5,642 |
| Terraced | £280,000 | 61 | 5,754 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.4% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +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.
How many homes change hands in YO30
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 339 YO30 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 703 sales a year before the financial crisis and 344 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.
The rental side of YO30
For renting purposes YO30 sits in York. The ONS average private rent there is £1,182 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £863 a month here against £1,725 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, York
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £305,000 median sold price, £1,182 a month is £14,184 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in YO
Real sold prices by size across the YO area, straight 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 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
