How Dunstan Street, Sherborne prices moved
The chart tracks the median Dunstan Street, Sherborne house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2004 to 2020. 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 | 3 | £270,000 | £491,860 |
| 2020s | 1 | £433,000 | £442,413 |
The highest yearly median on record for Dunstan Street, Sherborne is £433,000 in 2020; the lowest is £260,000 in 2005. Across the full 17-year record the cash median has moved from £270,000 to £433,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £500,921, so the real change over the whole record is +11.9% — about +0.71% 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: +53.3% in cash against +11.5% 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.

Ownership and new build in Dunstan Street, Sherborne
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 72 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 | 72 | 100.0% | £342,500 |

| Existing home | 35 | 48.6% | £415,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.9%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
