PO37 sold prices: where the market stands
The 2026 median for PO37 is £267,000, taken from 70 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £296,000, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
What a square metre costs in PO37
A square metre of PO37 home has cost about £3,140 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.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, PO37 runs 6% below it.

In cash terms the typical PO37 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £267,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO37 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 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−13.8%). 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 flats dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £370,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

What PO37 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.7% | +2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
PO37 recorded 120 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 281 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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.
The rental side of PO37
PO37 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.
£946 a month is £11,352 a year, which against the £267,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.
How PO37 trades
This is a thin market: 120 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.
Common questions on PO37 (Shanklin)
Are property prices falling in PO37 (Shanklin)?
Is PO37 (Shanklin) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PO37 (Shanklin)?
Are PO37 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What another bedroom costs in PO
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%) |
| Terraced | £230,000 | £253,000 (+10%) | £290,000 (+15%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £498,750 (+33%) |
| Flat | £145,000 | £198,000 (+37%) | £290,000 (+46%) | £500,000 (+72%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
