The standing YO31 (Heworth) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. The raw material for this page is 16,329 HM Land Registry entries for YO31 (York), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales data to August 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for YO31 (York) is £300,000, from 167 registered sales, up 11% on five years earlier; the mean is £311,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,730 per square metre over the last five years.

The postcode district YO31 covering Heworth, Huntington (South), The Groves sits in York. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

YO31 sold prices: where the market stands
167 sales were registered in YO31 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £300,000. The mean works out at £311,900, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
House prices per square metre in YO31
Measured by floor area, the last five years of YO31 sales average about £3,730 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so YO31 trades 5% above the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £52,000 | £109,666 | 454 |
| 1995 | £53,500 | £116,301 | 397 |
In cash terms the typical YO31 home went from £53,500 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 158%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the YO31 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 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.6%). 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 year (since 2025) | +3.4% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.8% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
YO31 recorded 302 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 641 sales a year before the financial crisis and 392 a year over the last five. 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.
The rental side of YO31
The local authority for YO31 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.
£1,182 a month is £14,184 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
YO31's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in YO31 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 46 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 19% below the YO31 median sold price.
Set against 302 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 46 homes on the market here are roughly 8 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
17% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

The YO31 sales calendar
Take the 2,377 YO31 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 12.2% of the total, January trails with 6.1%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 144 | 6.1% |
| February | 175 | 7.4% |
| March | 291 | 12.2% |

Moving up a bedroom in YO: the cost
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £249,950 | £275,000 (+10%) | £318,000 (+16%) | £392,995 (+24%) | £525,000 (+34%) |

| Flat | £130,000 | £169,406 (+30%) | £229,500 (+35%) | £259,975 (+13%) | £305,000 (+17%) |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
