In cash terms the typical SO41 9 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £385,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 195%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 25% 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 SO41 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.0%). 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) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
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.
SO41 9 recorded 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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 kind of market SO41 9 is
Only 47 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO41 9 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. Within SO41, this sector trades 23% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around SO41 9
SO41 9 falls under New Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,240 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £861 a month here against £1,984 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, New Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £385,000 median sold price, £1,240 a month is £14,880 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in SO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SO area, 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
