How this area has changed
Typical prices for 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Startforth Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector DH3 4 | £375,000 | £315,995 +19% since | £249,950 +50% since | Not enough sales | £239,950 +56% since |
| Chester-Le-Street | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £218,250 |
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 DH3 4, over the last five years (519 sales):
- What sells: 47% semi-detached, 24% detached, 17% terraced, 8% flats, 4% other.
