Sold House Prices in York (2026)

Property Market Overview — York's property market remains active with nearly 27,500 sales over five years, though prices have softened considerably. The median price of around £297,000 sits notably below the mean of £388,532, reflecting significant variation across the market. Recent prices average £298,625, broadly aligned with the median but substantially down from the peak seen in 2023.

Property Types and Price Differences — Detached homes command the highest prices at £462,667, roughly double the cost of flats at £233,399. Semi-detached and terraced properties cluster together in the £298,000–£303,000 range, representing the largest share of sales and forming the market's backbone. Flats are notably the least expensive category, accounting for the smallest proportion of transactions.

Price Trends Over Time — The market has contracted significantly over five years, down 19.9% from earlier peaks. Prices climbed through 2022 and 2023, reaching £417,246, but have since retreated sharply, falling nearly 28% from that high to the current £298,625.

What Stands Out — The wide gap between mean and median prices suggests detached homes pull averages upward while most buyers and sellers operate in the £250,000–£350,000 bracket. Recent price recovery remains absent, with 2025–2026 data showing continued downward pressure across all segments.
