In cash terms the typical YO62 5 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 176%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the YO62 5 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−23.7%). 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) | +20.8% | +18.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.7% | +2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in YO62 5
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.
The register shows 11 YO62 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 42 sales a year recently, against 46 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of YO62 5
The local authority for YO62 5 is North Yorkshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£833 a month is £9,996 a year, which against the £450,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.2%. 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.
The shape of the YO62 5 market
Only 11 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes YO62 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the YO62 district median, YO62 5 sits 45% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: YO prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,746 | £362,000 (+34%) | £546,000 (+51%) | £702,500 (+29%) |
