BS3 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BS3 (Bristol). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

BS3 3 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 64 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) BS3 3 home went for £420,000. The mean is £383,300, beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
BS3 3 prices by floor area
A square metre of BS3 3 home has cost about £4,580 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts BS3 3 47% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical BS3 3 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 408%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 10% 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 BS3 3 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 2002 (+32.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BS3 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.6% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.9% | +2.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
BS3 3 recorded 64 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 218 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 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.
The rental side of BS3 3
BS3 3 falls under Bristol, City of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,883 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,224 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,552 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bristol, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £420,000 median sold price, £1,883 a month is £22,596 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BS
Real sold prices by size across the BS area, straight 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.
