In cash terms the typical ST18 9 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £447,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 205%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the ST18 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 1999 (+38.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−24.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ST18 9 has returned, per year

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
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.
The register shows 24 ST18 9 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 84 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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.
The rental side of ST18 9
The local authority for ST18 9 is Stafford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £891 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £624 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,341 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stafford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £447,500 median sold price, £891 a month is £10,692 a year, a gross yield of 2.4%: 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.
How ST18 9 trades
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST18 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within ST18, this sector trades 23% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in ST: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ST 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |

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.
