How Olympia Crescent, Selby prices moved
The chart tracks the median Olympia Crescent, Selby house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 5 | £82,500 | £150,291 |
| 2010s | 3 | £140,000 | £197,400 |
| 2020s | 1 | £150,000 | £153,261 |
The highest yearly median on record for Olympia Crescent, Selby is £150,000 in 2021; the lowest is £47,995 in 2001. Across the full 21-year record the cash median has moved from £47,995 to £150,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £94,121, so the real change over the whole record is +101.4% — about +3.56% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +28.2% in cash against -6.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Olympia Crescent, Selby is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 80 | 72.1% | £113,000 | £30,000 – £197,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Olympia Crescent, Selby
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 111 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 111 | 100.0% | £112,995 |
A further 4 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across East Riding of Yorkshire, 40.2% of 170,039 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in East Riding of Yorkshire at £724 a month as of Jun 2026 — £502 for a one-bedroom home and £799 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £112,995 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.69% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of YO8, 196 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 88 violent, 5 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 31 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.2 times busier.
Against the 342,215 residents the 2021 census counted in East Riding of Yorkshire, that is 0.57 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Olympia Crescent, Selby
The 2021 census counted 342,215 residents in East Riding of Yorkshire across 152,066 households. 73.5% of those households own their home and 26.3% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Within Selby the street ranks 552 of 709 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £143,500 (-21.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,091 per square metre, across 34 of the 111 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Olympia Crescent, Selby sits in East Riding of Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in East Riding of Yorkshire at 6.4 times median local earnings of £35,020 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Olympia Crescent, Selby?
The median price paid in Olympia Crescent, Selby across every sale on the register is £112,995. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Olympia Crescent, Selby?

In cash, the median rose +28.2% between 2007 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -6.8%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Olympia Crescent, Selby house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £150,000, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Olympia Crescent, Selby?
£1,091 per square metre, from the 34 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 29 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
