SO31 9 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.

The 2026 median for SO31 9 is £575,000, taken from 43 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £532,500, beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
House prices per square metre in SO31 9

In cash terms the typical SO31 9 home went from £86,200 in 1995 to £575,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 207%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the SO31 9 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 2000 (+37.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−16.7%). 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) | +27.8% | +24.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.8% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in SO31 9
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 43 sales completed in SO31 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 166 sales a year before the financial crisis and 112 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 SO31 9
For renting purposes SO31 9 sits in Fareham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,213 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £857 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,997, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Fareham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £575,000 median sold price, £1,213 a month is £14,556 a year, a gross yield of 2.5%: 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 shape of the SO31 9 market
This is a thin market: 43 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. Within SO31, this sector trades 62% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What another bedroom costs in SO
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 | — | £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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
