What SO24 homes really sell for
Take the 65 registered 2026 sales in SO24 and the middle price, the median, is £550,000. The mean lands at £632,600, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
SO24 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put SO24 at roughly £5,180 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SO24 93% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SO24 home went from £93,000 in 1995 to £550,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 172%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO24 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 1997 (+22.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO24 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −4.1% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.5% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £762,500 against £225,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Sales activity in SO24
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 122 SO24 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 192 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 shape of the SO24 market
This is a thin market: 122 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Detached homes made up 46% of last year's sales, an unusually house-heavy mix that keeps the median well above what a flat or terrace here goes for. Among the 23 measurable districts of its area, SO24 ranks 4 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What homes rent for around SO24
SO24 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.
Set against the £550,000 median sold price, £1,505 a month is £18,060 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.

Is SO24 (New Alresford) a good place to buy a house?
What happens to SO24 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 12% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in SO24 now
Everything above is what homes in SO24 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 12 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 52% below the SO24 median sold price.
SO24 registered 122 sales in the last twelve months; the 12 homes listed now would take about 5 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
50% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in SO24 change hands
Take the 787 SO24 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 11.8% of the total, May trails with 5.5%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 59 | 7.5% |
| February | 64 | 8.1% |
| March | 78 | 9.9% |
| April | 53 | 6.7% |

Bedroom by bedroom: SO prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SO 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 | £305,000 | £370,000 (+21%) | £445,000 (+20%) | £580,000 (+30%) | £800,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £265,500 | £310,000 (+17%) | £349,000 (+13%) | £420,500 (+20%) | £540,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £215,000 | £270,000 (+26%) | £296,000 (+10%) | £405,000 (+37%) | £627,500 (+55%) |
| Flat | £145,500 | £200,000 (+37%) | £280,000 (+40%) | £400,000 (+43%) | £635,000 (+59%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
