SO21 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SO21 (Winchester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SO21 2 home went from £94,800 in 1995 to £730,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 254%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SO21 2 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 2001 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−21.4%). 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) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
SO21 2 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 99 sales a year before the financial crisis and 52 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.
How SO21 2 trades
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO21 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the SO21 district median, SO21 2 sits 40% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around SO21 2
SO21 2 falls under Winchester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,505 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,014 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,247, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Winchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £730,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,505 a month (£18,060 a year) works out at a 2.5% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SO prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SO area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £369,500 | £515,000 (+39%) | £775,000 (+50%) | £1,194,217 (+54%) |
| Semi-detached | £275,000 | £316,000 (+15%) | £375,000 (+19%) | £495,000 (+32%) | £837,500 (+69%) |

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
