| 1996 | £32,500 | £68,541 | 92 |
| 1995 | £33,800 | £73,476 | 58 |
In cash terms the typical SA17 home went from £33,800 in 1995 to £178,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SA17 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 (+43.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−11.7%). 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, 43% of the typed total. In 2022, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £270,000 against £120,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.5% | −8.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 132 sales completed in SA17. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 138 sales a year recently, against 132 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around SA17
For renting purposes SA17 sits in Carmarthenshire. The ONS average private rent there is £680 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £178,800 median sold price, £680 a month is £8,160 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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 SA17 market
This is a thin market: 132 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.
Common questions on SA17 (Ferryside)
Are property prices falling in SA17 (Ferryside)?
Is SA17 (Ferryside) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SA17 (Ferryside)?

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 12% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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.
The price of an extra bedroom in SA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SA 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 | — | £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.
