CF2 3 local market report Cardiff
Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 21 sales registered with HM Land Registry in CF2 3 (Cardiff) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2023. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
CF2 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CF2 (Cardiff). 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.

The 2023 median in CF2 3 is £210,000, from 1 registered sales; the mean, £210,000, sits almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

In cash terms the typical CF2 3 home went from £37,500 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2023, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 164%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 71% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Annualised returns

| 5 years (since 2018) | +1.0% | −2.8% |
| 13 years (since 2010) | +7.2% | +4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2003) | +11.2% | +8.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CF2 3 recorded 1 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 2 sales a year over the last five years against 1 before the financial crisis. 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.
Will CF2 3 prices rise from here?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
The risers and the fallers

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
