CF44 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CF44 (Aberdare). 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.

In cash terms the typical CF44 9 home went from £35,500 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 81%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF44 9 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 1999 (+31.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−21.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CF44 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −21.1% | −23.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CF44 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
CF44 9 recorded 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 127 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 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.
Reading the CF44 9 market
This is a thin market: 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of CF44 9
CF44 9 falls under Rhondda Cynon Taf, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £748 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £524 a month for a typical one-bed to £991 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Rhondda Cynon Taf
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£748 a month is £8,976 a year, which against the £140,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.4%. 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.

CF44's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 43 homes at the moment, listed by 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CF44 district, not just CF44 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 28% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £367,000 (+33%) | £550,000 (+50%) | £790,000 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £217,000 (+14%) | £260,000 (+20%) | £380,000 (+46%) | £530,000 (+39%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
