Today's PO17 prices, from the sold record
In the PO17 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £285,500, from 34 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £430,100, sitting a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
PO17 prices by floor area
Per square metre, PO17 homes have averaged around £3,910 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so PO17 trades 0% above the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £83,000 | £175,043 | 93 |
| 1995 | £102,200 | £222,167 | 52 |
In cash terms the typical PO17 home went from £102,200 in 1995 to £285,500 in 2026, roughly 2.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 29%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 36% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO17 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 2001 (+33.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.1% | −13.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.0% | −8.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.5% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £825,000 against £208,800 for a flat, 4.0 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
PO17 recorded 79 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.
What kind of market PO17 is
This is a thin market: 79 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 PO17
The local authority for PO17 is Winchester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,505 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,014 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,247 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Winchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £285,500 median sold price, £1,505 a month is £18,060 a year, a gross yield of 6.3%: 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.

Is PO17 (Wickham) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PO17 (Wickham)?
Are property prices falling in PO17 (Wickham)?
Are PO17 prices heading up or down?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 18% over five years in cash but down 36% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What is for sale in PO17 right now
Everything above is what homes in PO17 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 7 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 16% above the PO17 median sold price.
17% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in PO: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PO 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £475,000 (+36%) | £675,000 (+42%) | £900,000 (+33%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
