In cash terms the typical SA39 home went from £29,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 10 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 368%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 5% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA39 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 (+88.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−19.3%). 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, 70% of the typed total.

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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SA39 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 35 sales a year before the financial crisis and 23 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.
What tenants pay around SA39
SA39 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Carmarthenshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £295,000 median sold price, £680 a month is £8,160 a year, a gross yield of 2.8%: 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.
What kind of market SA39 is
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA39 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. SA39 sits 6 of 51 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

Moving up a bedroom in SA: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SA area. 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%) |

| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
