In cash terms the typical SO50 8 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £334,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 148%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO50 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 1999 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.0%). 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) | −0.3% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.1% |
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 SO50 8
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SO50 8 recorded 53 sales in the last 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 87 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around SO50 8
For renting purposes SO50 8 sits in Eastleigh. The ONS average private rent there is £1,210 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £859 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,866, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £334,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.
The shape of the SO50 8 market
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO50 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom in SO
Real sold prices by size across the SO area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
