In cash terms the typical ST3 3 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £164,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 152%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 3% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the ST3 3 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 2004 (+44.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ST3 3 has returned, per year

|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.9% | +3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.8% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.6% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in ST3 3
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in ST3 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 72 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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.
Rents around ST3 3
The local authority for ST3 3 is Stoke-on-Trent, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £709 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £514 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,073 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stoke-on-Trent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£709 a month is £8,508 a year, which against the £164,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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.
Reading the ST3 3 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST3 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Bedroom by bedroom: ST prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the ST 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.
