YO31 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside YO31 (York). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical YO31 1 home went from £62,500 in 1995 to £380,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 180%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% 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 YO31 1 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 2012 (+29.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.1%). 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) | −0.7% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.2% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
YO31 1 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 94 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.
Reading the YO31 1 market
This is a thin market: 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within YO31, this sector trades 31% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of YO31 1
YO31 1 falls under York, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,182 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £380,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,182 a month (£14,184 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

YO31's current homes for sale

24% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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. 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
