| 1995 | £49,500 | £107,605 | 113 |
In cash terms the typical YO31 8 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £253,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the YO31 8 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 (+36.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.3% | −1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in YO31 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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.
How YO31 8 trades
This is a thin market: 29 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. Against the YO31 district median, YO31 8 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around YO31 8
The local authority for YO31 8 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.
Against the £253,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,182 a month (£14,184 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in YO
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.
