| 1995 | £74,500 | £161,952 | 566 |
In cash terms the typical SO53 home went from £74,500 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SO53 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 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £550,000 against £200,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −6.8% | −9.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.3% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 412 sales completed in SO53. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 790 sales a year before the financial crisis and 391 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.
The rental side of SO53
For renting purposes SO53 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.
Against the £390,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,210 a month (£14,520 a year) works out at a 3.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. 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.
SO53's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in SO53 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 66 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 31% above the SO53 median sold price.
Set against 412 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 66 homes on the market here are roughly 2 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.
8% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
When homes in SO53 change hands
Take the 2,320 SO53 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 10.3% of the total, April trails with 5.8%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £305,000 | £370,000 (+21%) | £445,000 (+20%) | £580,000 (+30%) | £800,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £265,500 | £310,000 (+17%) | £349,000 (+13%) | £420,500 (+20%) | £540,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £215,000 | £270,000 (+26%) | £296,000 (+10%) | £405,000 (+37%) | £627,500 (+55%) |
| Flat | £145,500 | £200,000 (+37%) | £280,000 (+40%) | £400,000 (+43%) | £635,000 (+59%) |
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.
