Betws market report SA18 2, Ammanford

The SA18 2 (Betws) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,348 registered sales in SA18 2 (Ammanford) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: 56 registered 2026 sales put the SA18 2 (Ammanford) median at £223,800, up 24% on five years earlier, with a mean of £246,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,040 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,348 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

A postcode sector like SA18 2 is a single group of streets within SA18 (Ammanford), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What SA18 2 homes really sell for

In the SA18 2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £223,800, from 56 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £246,500, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

House prices per square metre in SA18 2

Measured by floor area, the last five years of SA18 2 sales average about £2,040 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, SA18 2 runs 21% below it.

In cash terms the typical SA18 2 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £223,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 145%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+39.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

Sales activity in SA18 2

The register shows 56 SA18 2 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 162 sales a year before the financial crisis and 107 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.

Reading the SA18 2 market

Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA18 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within SA18, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Rents around SA18 2

SA18 2 falls under Carmarthenshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.

£680 a month is £8,160 a year, which against the £223,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.
