| 1995 | £69,000 | £149,995 | 139 |
In cash terms the typical YO62 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 107%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 31% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO62 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 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.2%). 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, 44% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £435,000 against £171,200 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.1% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in YO62
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 139 YO62 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 173 sales a year recently, against 208 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.
Reading the YO62 market
This is a thin market: 139 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around YO62
For renting purposes YO62 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £582 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,333, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £310,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.2%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: YO prices by size
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.
