In cash terms the typical BS49 home went from £75,800 in 1995 to £358,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 117%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BS49 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 2003 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −3.1% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.1% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £490,000 against £172,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 176 BS49 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 197 sales a year recently, against 241 a year before 2008. 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.
What homes rent for around BS49
For renting purposes BS49 sits in North Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,197 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,197 a month is £14,364 a year, which against the £358,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 6% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
BS49's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in BS49 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 6 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 26% above the BS49 median sold price.
Set against 176 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 6 homes on the market here are roughly 2 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
Of everything listed here, 17% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

The BS49 sales calendar
Take the 1,260 BS49 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 11.1% of the total, May trails with 6.3%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

What another bedroom costs in BS
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BS 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £300,000 | £357,500 (+19%) | £414,995 (+16%) | £530,000 (+28%) | £710,000 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £244,000 | £285,000 (+17%) | £327,500 (+15%) | £415,000 (+27%) | £550,000 (+33%) |

| Flat | £190,000 | £240,000 (+26%) | £346,756 (+44%) | £438,750 (+27%) | £535,000 (+22%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
