SA1 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SA1 (Swansea). 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 SA1 7 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £147,500 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 52%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA1 7 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 (+37.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−21.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SA1 7 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 79 sales a year recently, against 89 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around SA1 7
The local authority for SA1 7 is Swansea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,257 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £147,500 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 6.8%: 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.
Reading the SA1 7 market
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA1 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Is SA1 7 (Bonymaen) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SA1 7 (Bonymaen)?
Are property prices falling in SA1 7 (Bonymaen)?
Are SA1 7 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SA area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £225,000 | £300,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+40%) | £518,750 (+24%) |
| Semi-detached | £152,000 | £168,000 (+11%) | £190,000 (+13%) | £268,000 (+41%) | £350,000 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £132,500 | £130,000 (-2%) | £148,670 (+14%) | £185,000 (+24%) | £270,000 (+46%) |
| Flat | £107,500 | £145,000 (+35%) | £222,500 (+53%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
