| 1996 | £50,000 | £105,448 | 230 |
| 1995 | £52,200 | £113,475 | 264 |
In cash terms the typical ST3 7 home went from £52,200 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 107%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST3 7 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 2003 (+26.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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, 61 sales completed in ST3 7. 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 135 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.
What kind of market ST3 7 is

The rental side of ST3 7
For renting purposes ST3 7 sits in Stoke-on-Trent. The ONS average private rent there is £709 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £514 a month here against £1,073 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stoke-on-Trent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £235,000 median purchase price, a rent of £709 a month (£8,508 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in ST: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the ST area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £165,000 | £180,000 (+9%) | £228,000 (+27%) | £310,000 (+36%) | £402,500 (+30%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
