YO8 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside YO8 (Selby). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical YO8 4 home went from £37,500 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 109%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the YO8 4 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 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−11.3%). 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 years (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
YO8 4 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 a year over the last five. 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.
How YO8 4 trades
This is a thin market: 31 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. Within YO8, this sector trades 31% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around YO8 4
YO8 4 falls under North Yorkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £170,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.

On the market in YO8 today
This is what you could actually buy today: 180 homes currently on the market from 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole YO8 district, not just YO8 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
30% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
