In cash terms the typical S17 home went from £72,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 203%, 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 4% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the S17 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 2005 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.9%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £557,500 against £195,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.7% | +1.2% |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
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.
The register shows 183 S17 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 323 sales a year before the financial crisis and 216 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.
Reading the S17 market
This is detached-house territory: 52% of last year's sales were detached, which props the overall median well above the flat and terrace market underneath it. S17 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.
What homes rent for around S17
The local authority for S17 is Sheffield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £922 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £683 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,327 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sheffield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £475,000 median sold price, £922 a month is £11,064 a year, a gross yield of 2.3%: 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.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 26% over five years in cash and flat after inflation.

On the market in S17 today
Everything above is what homes in S17 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 10 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 18% below the S17 median sold price.
S17 registered 183 sales in the last twelve months; the 10 homes listed now would take about 3 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in S17 change hands
Take the 1,295 S17 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 11.2% of the total, April trails with 6.3%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
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 | £210,000 | £230,000 (+10%) | £280,000 (+22%) | £357,000 (+27%) | £475,995 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £170,000 (+6%) | £190,000 (+12%) | £249,995 (+32%) | £350,000 (+40%) |
| Terraced | £130,000 | £135,000 (+4%) | £157,000 (+16%) | £225,000 (+43%) | £290,000 (+29%) |
| Flat | £107,000 | £133,500 (+25%) | £230,000 (+72%) | £306,000 (+33%) | £475,000 (+55%) |
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.
