In cash terms the typical SG2 8 home went from £57,700 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 179%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SG2 8 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 2002 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.1% | −2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
SG2 8 recorded 62 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 230 sales a year before the financial crisis and 128 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.
What homes rent for around SG2 8
SG2 8 falls under Stevenage, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,426 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,018 a month here against £2,110 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stevenage
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,426 a month (£17,112 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.

What another bedroom costs in SG
Real sold prices by size across the SG area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £425,000 | £562,950 (+32%) | £790,000 (+40%) | £1,107,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £315,000 | £375,000 (+19%) | £450,000 (+20%) | £582,500 (+29%) | £785,000 (+35%) |

| Flat | £205,000 | £270,000 (+32%) | £410,000 (+52%) | — | — |
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.
