How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fairfield | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector DH2 1 | £178,500 | £151,500 +18% since | £122,500 +46% since | £128,000 +39% since | £138,000 +29% since |
| County Durham | £150,000 | £130,000 +15% since | £114,000 +32% since | £105,000 +43% since | £130,000 +15% 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 DH2 1, over the last five years (983 sales):
- What sells: 37% semi-detached, 34% terraced, 20% detached, 5% other, 5% flats.
- 18% sold leasehold, and 19% were new builds.
- 157 sales in the last twelve months, against 185 in the same twelve months five years ago.
