In cash terms the typical SA5 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £169,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 105%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 8% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA5 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 (+35.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.9%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £250,000 against £95,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.6% | +3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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 SA5
Sales per year, counted
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 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.
SA5 recorded 267 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 557 sales a year before the financial crisis and 316 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.
The rental side of SA5
SA5 falls under Swansea, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £169,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 6.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SA
Real sold prices by size across the SA area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Terraced | £132,500 | £130,000 (-2%) | £148,670 (+14%) | £185,000 (+24%) | £270,000 (+46%) |
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
