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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skipton Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector DL17 8 | £64,000 | £47,250 +35% since | £40,500 +58% since | £56,000 +14% since | £52,500 +22% since |
| Sedgefield | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £68,000 |
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.
