SO31 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SO31 (Southampton). 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.

| 1995 | £52,600 | £114,344 | 116 |
In cash terms the typical SO31 8 home went from £52,600 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 180%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO31 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 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO31 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.2% | −9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in SO31 8
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 63 SO31 8 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 162 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 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.
What tenants pay around SO31 8
SO31 8 falls under Eastleigh, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,210 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £859 a month here against £1,866 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Eastleigh
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £320,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,210 a month (£14,520 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.
Reading the SO31 8 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SO31, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
