Market read
The median sale in Sunderland (SR1) was £57,000. Floor areas could be established for only 12% of sales here, too few to publish a reliable price per square metre, so that figure is left out. The district is trading 84.2% below the high set in 2001. The median home costs 1.7 times median local earnings — unusually affordable. Local rents imply a gross yield near 14.8%.

Each point is the median of sales in the three months ending that month.
Amber segments mark periods without enough data for a reliable median. The selected period remains complete.

The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In SR1, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 18 m² | 29 m² | 40 m² | 5 |
| 2 | 45 m² | 54 m² | 65 m² | 59 |
| 3 | 62 m² | 77 m² | 85 m² | 80 |
| 4 | 62 m² | 86 m² | 102 m² | 30 |
| 5 | 77 m² | 99 m² | 117 m² | 51 |
| 6 | 106 m² | 124 m² | 136 m² | 21 |
| 7 | 105 m² | 132 m² | 140 m² | 6 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 1 habitable rooms, ranging from 18 to 40 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
