In cash terms the typical SA5 4 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA5 4 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 (+52.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−14.1%). 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) | +7.1% | +4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SA5 4
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in SA5 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 116 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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.
What homes rent for around SA5 4
The local authority for SA5 4 is Swansea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,257 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £210,000 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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.
The shape of the SA5 4 market
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA5 4 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. Within SA5, this sector trades 24% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £300,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+40%) | £518,750 (+24%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
