In cash terms the typical CF24 1 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 189%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF24 1 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 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.2%). 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) | +4.8% | +2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.1% | −0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
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
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, 15 sales completed in CF24 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 153 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the CF24 1 market
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF24 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CF24, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of CF24 1
CF24 1 falls under Cardiff, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,157 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £894 a month here against £1,677 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cardiff
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,157 a month (£13,884 a year) works out at a 6.3% 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.

CF24's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 164 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CF24 district, not just CF24 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 20% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Claude Road, Roath, Cardiff, Cardiff

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: CF prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CF 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £367,000 (+33%) | £550,000 (+50%) | £790,000 (+44%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
