How this area has changed
Typical prices for homes of every kind, 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 | £437,500 | £302,497 +45% since | £277,475 +58% since | £200,000 +119% since | £205,000 +113% 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.
