Property Market Overview — Durham's residential market is moderately active, with nearly 12,000 sales over five years. The median price of £150,000 sits well below the mean of £212,298, indicating a concentration of sales at the lower end with some higher-value transactions pulling the average up. Recent prices have stabilised around £220,000 after a notable dip in 2024.
Property Types and Price Differences — Semi-detached homes are the market's backbone, representing over a third of sales at £157,480 average. Terraced and flat properties trade at similar levels (around £131,000–£139,000), while detached homes command roughly double the price of semi-detached properties, averaging £299,111. This wider spread reflects Durham's mix of compact urban housing and larger suburban properties.
Price Trends Over Time — The five-year trend shows growth of 12%, though the path has been volatile. Prices peaked in 2023 at £248,156 before dropping sharply in 2024 to £191,848, recovering slightly in 2025–2026. The current level sits between the 2021–2022 baseline and the 2023 peak.
What Stands Out — Semi-detached and terraced homes dominate sales volume but occupy a narrow price band, whereas the detached sector, though smaller, creates significant value variation. The recent price range spans from £112,500 to £549,000, suggesting distinct submarkets within the town.
