In cash terms the typical CF24 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £242,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 154%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF24 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 74% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £300,000 against £142,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.0% | +2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Sales activity in CF24
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 406 CF24 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,212 sales a year before the financial crisis and 445 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.
Rents around CF24
The local authority for CF24 is Cardiff, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,157 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £894 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,677, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cardiff
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £242,500 median sold price, £1,157 a month is £13,884 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in CF
Real sold prices by size across the CF area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
