In cash terms the typical SO19 8 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £262,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 143%: 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 20% 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 SO19 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 2003 (+27.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.6%). 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) | +0.8% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
SO19 8 recorded 61 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 218 sales a year before the financial crisis and 113 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.
Rents around SO19 8
For renting purposes SO19 8 sits in Southampton. The ONS average private rent there is £1,250 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £875 a month here against £1,882 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Southampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £262,000 median sold price, £1,250 a month is £15,000 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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 price of an extra bedroom in SO
Real sold prices by size across the SO 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £369,500 | £515,000 (+39%) | £775,000 (+50%) | £1,194,217 (+54%) |
