In cash terms the typical BH3 7 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £327,500 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 51%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 53% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BH3 7 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 2000 (+84.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−48.4%). 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) | −48.4% | −49.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −7.0% | −11.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.1% | −4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.5% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 27 sales completed in BH3 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around BH3 7
For renting purposes BH3 7 sits in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The ONS average private rent there is £1,404 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £327,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,404 a month (£16,848 a year) works out at a 5.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the BH3 7 market
This is a thin market: 27 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 30% over five years in cash but down 45% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in BH
Real sold prices by size across the BH area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £500,000 (+33%) | £744,000 (+49%) | £1,083,250 (+46%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
