| 1995 | £64,500 | £140,213 | 129 |
In cash terms the typical YO51 home went from £64,500 in 1995 to £326,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 133%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO51 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 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £390,000 against £148,800 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.0% | −5.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −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
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 122 YO51 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 159 sales a year recently, against 145 a year before 2008. 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.
How YO51 trades
Only 122 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO51 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. YO51 sits 5 of 29 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
Rents around YO51
For renting purposes YO51 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £582 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,333 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £326,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.

What another bedroom costs in YO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the YO area. 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 | — | £270,746 | £362,000 (+34%) | £546,000 (+51%) | £702,500 (+29%) |

| Flat | £135,000 | £180,000 (+33%) | £254,750 (+42%) | £300,000 (+18%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
