In cash terms the typical CF44 8 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £135,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 63%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2025. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF44 8 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 1997 (+32.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−17.4%). 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) | −14.8% | −16.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 CF44 8
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 33 CF44 8 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 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
What tenants pay around CF44 8
The local authority for CF44 8 is Rhondda Cynon Taf, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £748 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £524 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £991, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Rhondda Cynon Taf
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £135,000 median sold price, £748 a month is £8,976 a year, a gross yield of 6.6%: 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 shape of the CF44 8 market
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF44 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the CF44 district median, CF44 8 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CF
Real sold prices by size across the CF area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
