PO33 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PO33 (Ryde). 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 PO33 2 home went from £37,500 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 127%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO33 2 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 2002 (+31.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.0%). 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) | +2.8% | +0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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 PO33 2
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PO33 2 recorded 57 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 296 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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.
The shape of the PO33 2 market
This is a thin market: 57 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. Against the PO33 district median, PO33 2 sits 24% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around PO33 2
For renting purposes PO33 2 sits in Isle of Wight. The ONS average private rent there is £946 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £659 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,508 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Isle of Wight
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £185,000 median purchase price, a rent of £946 a month (£11,352 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.

What another bedroom costs in PO
Real sold prices by size across the PO area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
