Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DH2: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
DH2 sees about 32 sales a month, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £320,000 against £64,400 for flats, which explains a spread of £59,900 to £333,200, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseFor buyers, typical prices in DH2 sit well below the UK average, so ask what is behind the lower prices before you assume a bargain.
Before you offer in DH2, check planning history nearby (157 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and the EPC, since it drives running costs, and ask your conveyancer about the title.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free DH2 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the County Durham (DH2) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £320,000 against £64,400 for flats: about 5.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £59,900 and £333,200, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 32 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so DH2 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DH2: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.
