A typical SA3 3 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)

| 1996 | £66,000 | £139,191 | 48 |
| 1995 | £71,800 | £156,082 | 42 |
In cash terms the typical SA3 3 home went from £71,800 in 1995 to £327,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 110%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA3 3 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.4%). 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) | −7.7% | −9.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 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
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 21 SA3 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 53 sales a year recently, against 64 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.
How SA3 3 trades
This is a thin market: 21 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.
Rents around SA3 3
The local authority for SA3 3 is Swansea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,257 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £327,500 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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 price of an extra bedroom in SA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SA area. 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
