How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Elvet | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector DH1 3 | – | £279,995 | £193,250 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| County Durham | £102,000 | £80,000 +28% since | £73,500 +39% since | £75,725 +35% since | £85,000 +20% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in DH1 3, over the last five years (408 sales):
- What sells: 30% detached, 27% semi-detached, 18% flats, 16% terraced, 9% other.
- 20% sold leasehold, and 17% were new builds.
- 63 sales in the last twelve months, against 124 in the same twelve months five years ago.
