In cash terms the typical BH17 9 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £366,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 128%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BH17 9 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2017 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.7% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 34 BH17 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around BH17 9
The local authority for BH17 9 is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,404 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £922 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,092, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £366,500 median sold price, £1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the BH17 9 market
This is a thin market: 34 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within BH17, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BH area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
