In cash terms the typical PO33 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £242,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 159%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO33 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 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.0% | −3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 29% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £376,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in PO33
The year-by-year sales count
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
PO33 recorded 407 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 899 sales a year before the financial crisis and 429 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 rental side of PO33
PO33 falls under Isle of Wight, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £242,500 median purchase price, a rent of £946 a month (£11,352 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
Reading the PO33 market

Bedroom by bedroom: PO prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PO area. 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 | — | £350,000 | £475,000 (+36%) | £675,000 (+42%) | £900,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £273,250 | £305,000 (+12%) | £352,500 (+16%) | £430,000 (+22%) | £610,000 (+42%) |

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