In cash terms the typical SA38 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 152%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the SA38 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 (+52.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−21.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

SA38 recorded 65 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 62 sales a year recently, against 75 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around SA38

SA38 falls under Carmarthenshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £680 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £495 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £990, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

1 bed: £495 a month£4951 bed2 bed: £641 a month£6412 bed3 bed: £731 a month£7313 bed4+ bed: £990 a month£9904+ bed

Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £680 a month is £8,160 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

Will SA38 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 13% over five years in cash but down 30% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers

SA38 ranks 49 of 51 in the SA area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.
