Elvington market report YO41, York

The standing YO41 (Elvington) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 6,173 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in YO41 (York) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: 67 registered 2026 sales put the YO41 (York) median at £300,000, up 3% on five years earlier, with a mean of £389,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,320 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,173 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

The postcode district YO41 covering Elvington, Full Sutton, Stamford Bridge 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.

Today's YO41 prices, from the sold record

In the YO41 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £300,000, from 67 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £389,200, sitting a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

Price per square metre in YO41

Measured by floor area, the last five years of YO41 sales average about £3,320 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 YO41 trades 5% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical YO41 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 109%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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 detached houses dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £405,500 against £79,000 for a flat, 5.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 135 YO41 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 233 sales a year before the financial crisis and 131 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.

What kind of market YO41 is

Only 135 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO41 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

What homes rent for around YO41

For renting purposes YO41 sits in East Riding of Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £721 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £500 a month here against £1,160 for four or more bedrooms.

£721 a month is £8,652 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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.

YO41 (Elvington): the questions that come up

Are YO41 prices heading up or down?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
