In cash terms the typical SA2 8 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £396,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 160%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the SA2 8 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 2001 (+56.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−24.6%). 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) | +14.0% | +11.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SA2 8
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 17 SA2 8 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 79 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market SA2 8 is
This is a thin market: 17 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. Against the SA2 district median, SA2 8 sits 65% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of SA2 8
The local authority for SA2 8 is Swansea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,257, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £396,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 2.5% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
