In cash terms the typical YO31 7 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 78%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 38% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO31 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 2021 (+40.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−22.7%). 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) | −5.7% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.6% | −9.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in YO31 7
The year-by-year sales count
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 7 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 111 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
Reading the YO31 7 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO31 7 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 YO31, this sector trades 29% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around YO31 7
The local authority for YO31 7 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.
Set against the £205,000 median sold price, £1,182 a month is £14,184 a year, a gross yield of 6.9%: 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.

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%) |

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.
