Year-on-year change in the CF47 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 2005 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−22.5%). 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) | +17.7% | +15.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.6% | +1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.9% | +3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 14 sales completed in CF47 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 96 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
How CF47 9 trades
Only 14 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF47 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within CF47, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around CF47 9
CF47 9 falls under Merthyr Tydfil, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £754 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £553 a month here against £1,092 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £141,500 median sold price, £754 a month is £9,048 a year, a gross yield of 6.4%: 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.
