PO33 4 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 4 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 174%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO33 4 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 2006 (+34.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−16.8%). 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) | −5.8% | −8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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 4
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 33 sales completed in PO33 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 125 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market PO33 4 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the PO33 district median, PO33 4 sits 34% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around PO33 4
The local authority for PO33 4 is Isle of Wight, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £946 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£946 a month is £11,352 a year, which against the £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

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.
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. 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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
