In short: the middle 2026 sale in SA4 9 (Swansea) came in at £260,000, out of 34 registered, up 16% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £261,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,730 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 3,826 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

SA4 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SA4 (Swansea). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

Today's SA4 9 prices, from the sold record

In the SA4 9 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £260,000, from 34 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £261,200, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

SA4 9 prices by floor area

Measured by floor area, the last five years of SA4 9 sales average about £2,730 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.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SA4 9 trades 9% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical SA4 9 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £260,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 114%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+47.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−17.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What SA4 9 has returned, per year

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 SA4 9

SA4 9 recorded 34 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

How SA4 9 trades

Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA4 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 SA4 district median, SA4 9 sits 24% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Rents around SA4 9

SA4 9 falls under Swansea, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.

Set against the £260,000 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

SA4 9 (Blue Anchor): the questions that come up

Are SA4 9 prices heading up or down?

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
