124 sales were registered in PO10 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £415,000. The mean works out at £480,000, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
PO10 prices by floor area
A square metre of PO10 home has cost about £4,630 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts PO10 46% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical PO10 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £415,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 169%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PO10 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 (+24.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−2.4%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £590,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.3% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
PO10 recorded 246 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 370 sales a year before the financial crisis and 257 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.
How PO10 trades
Among the 34 measurable districts of its area, PO10 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
Rents around PO10
For renting purposes PO10 sits in Chichester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,325 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £941 a month here against £2,109 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Chichester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £415,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,325 a month (£15,900 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 17% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
PO10's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in PO10 sold for. The live side of the market holds 1 home at the moment, listed by an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 35% above the PO10 median sold price.
0% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

Refreshed every Monday and Thursday from agents' own feeds to HomesIndex, so a sample of the market rather than all of it. An asking price remains an ask, not a sale.
When homes in PO10 change hands
Take the 1,642 PO10 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 12.4% of the total, July trails with 6.0%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

The price of an extra bedroom in PO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PO area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £320,000 | £364,250 (+14%) | £420,000 (+15%) | £510,000 (+21%) | £640,000 (+25%) |
| Semi-detached | £270,000 | £300,000 (+11%) | £326,000 (+9%) | £380,000 (+17%) | £445,000 (+17%) |
| Terraced | £225,000 | £245,000 (+9%) | £270,000 (+10%) | £318,250 (+18%) | £385,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £134,000 | £182,500 (+36%) | £250,000 (+37%) | £325,000 (+30%) | £433,375 (+33%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
The risers and the fallers
