In cash terms the typical SA17 5 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 124%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 26% 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 SA17 5 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 (+53.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−17.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.4% | −13.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.0% | −5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −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.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in SA17 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 53 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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 SA17 5
The local authority for SA17 5 is Carmarthenshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £680 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £495 a month here against £990 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £195,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
Reading the SA17 5 market
This is a thin market: 22 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. Within SA17, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in SA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SA area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
