Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on NE16: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since October 2025 make NE16 a steady market, enough to learn from, though the year-on-year comparison is too thin to quote, so lean on the recent sold homes.
For sellers, £162,500 is only the middle of a market that runs from £94,620 to £370,825, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseWhen buying here, typical prices in NE16 sit well below the UK average, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Before you offer in NE16, check planning history nearby (141 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and the EPC rating, and ask your conveyancer about the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free NE16 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the County Durham (NE16) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £335,000 against £96,500 for flats: about 3.5 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £94,620 and £370,825, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 26 recorded sales a month.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so NE16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in NE16: 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. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.
