In cash terms the typical SA16 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 118%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SA16 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 (+63.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.9% | −10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £280,000 against £175,000 for a flat, 1.6 times the price.

Sales activity in SA16
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 113 SA16 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 183 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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.
How SA16 trades
This is a thin market: 113 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. In its area's price order SA16 comes 40 of 51, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What tenants pay around SA16
The local authority for SA16 is Carmarthenshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £680 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £495 a month for a typical one-bed to £990 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Carmarthenshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£680 a month is £8,160 a year, which against the £175,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SA prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SA area, 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%) |

| Flat | £107,500 | £145,000 (+35%) | £222,500 (+53%) | — | — |
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.
