The going rate for a home in S
The 2026 median for S is £200,000, taken from 6,359 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £234,200, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in S
By floor space, homes in S have sold for about £2,490 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving S 30% below the national figure.

| 1995 | £42,200 | £91,736 | 15,838 |
In cash terms the typical S home went from £42,200 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 118%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S 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 2004 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−3.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What S has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.4% | −4.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £325,000 against £128,000 for a flat, 2.5 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.
S recorded 13,946 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 26,183 sales a year before the financial crisis and 16,188 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 tenants pay around S
For renting purposes S sits in Sheffield, the local authority covering most of the S area (parts fall under Barnsley and Rotherham, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £922 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £683 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,327, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sheffield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £200,000 median sold price, £922 a month is £11,064 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: 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.
The shape of the S market
Turnover here is strong: 13,946 sales in the last twelve months of data, enough that the medians rest on a genuinely broad base and one street cannot move the figure.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 14% over five years in cash but down 10% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in S now
Everything above is what homes in S sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 3,810 homes on the market right now, from 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 3% below the S median sold price.
34% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

The price of an extra bedroom in S
What homes of each size actually sold for across the S area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £175,000 (+9%) | £220,000 (+26%) | £321,000 (+46%) | £550,000 (+71%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
