SG2 sold prices: where the market stands
The 2026 median for SG2 is £350,000, taken from 202 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £386,600, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
Price per square metre in SG2
Per square metre, SG2 homes have averaged around £4,310 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

| 1996 | £58,000 | £122,319 | 864 |
| 1995 | £58,900 | £128,040 | 628 |
In cash terms the typical SG2 home went from £58,900 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 173%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SG2 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 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.2%). 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, 55% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £557,000 against £215,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.6% | −2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SG2
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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.
SG2 recorded 418 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 830 sales a year before the financial crisis and 430 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around SG2
The local authority for SG2 is Stevenage, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,426 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,018 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,110 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SG area, 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 | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £290,000 | £342,000 (+18%) | £375,000 (+10%) | £510,000 (+36%) | £715,000 (+40%) |
| Flat | £205,000 | £270,000 (+32%) | £410,000 (+52%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
