SO50 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SO50 (Eastleigh). 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 SO50 4 home went from £54,800 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 164%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. 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 SO50 4 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.5%). 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) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 65 SO50 4 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 193 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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 SO50 4
The local authority for SO50 4 is Eastleigh, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,210 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £859 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,866 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Eastleigh
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,210 a month is £14,520 a year, which against the £315,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
SO50's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 76 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SO50 district, not just SO50 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
25% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Buckland Close, Eastleigh
- Upper Barn Copse, Fair Oak, Eastleigh, Eastleigh
- Doncaster Road, Eastleigh, Eastleigh
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in SO: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SO area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. 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.
