How this area has changed
Typical prices for homes of every kind, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Postcode sector DL2 1 | £253,012 | £226,250 +12% since | £225,000 +12% since | £150,000 +69% since | £180,000 +41% since |
| Darlington | £170,000 | £162,000 +5% since | £133,000 +28% since | £120,000 +42% since | £114,000 +49% 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 DL2 1, over the last five years (921 sales):
- What sells: 47% detached, 27% semi-detached, 17% terraced, 5% flats, 4% other.
- 6% sold leasehold, and 35% were new builds.
- 144 sales in the last twelve months, against 236 in the same twelve months five years ago.
