Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 67 registered 2026 sales put the SO50 5 (Eastleigh) median at £275,000, up 14% on five years earlier, with a mean of £260,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,250 per square metre over the last five years.

A postcode sector like SO50 5 is a single group of streets within SO50 (Eastleigh), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical SO50 5 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 158%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SO50 5 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 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO50 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.8% | +3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 67 sales completed in SO50 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 132 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.

Average monthly rent by size, Eastleigh
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £275,000 median sold price, £1,210 a month is £14,520 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SO prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SO area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
