| 1996 | £36,000 | £75,922 | 135 |
| 1995 | £35,800 | £77,824 | 110 |
In cash terms the typical SA5 9 home went from £35,800 in 1995 to £143,000 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 84%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA5 9 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 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.6%). 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) | −10.6% | −12.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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 33 SA5 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around SA5 9
SA5 9 falls under Swansea, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £143,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 7.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Reading the SA5 9 market
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA5 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. Within SA5, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: SA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SA area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
