Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 141%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.

Year-on-year change in the BS49 5 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 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.4%). 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) | −16.4% | −18.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in BS49 5
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.
BS49 5 recorded 14 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 62 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 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.
The shape of the BS49 5 market
Only 14 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BS49 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What tenants pay around BS49 5
The local authority for BS49 5 is North Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,197 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £812 a month here against £1,830 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £372,000 median sold price, £1,197 a month is £14,364 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BS area. 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.
