In cash terms the typical ST3 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 8% 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 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 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−4.9%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 53% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £283,000 against £75,000 for a flat, 3.8 times the price.

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
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 638 sales completed in ST3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,256 sales a year before the financial crisis and 708 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 ST3
ST3 falls under Stoke-on-Trent, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £709 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £514 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,073, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Stoke-on-Trent
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £175,000 median purchase price, a rent of £709 a month (£8,508 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.

What another bedroom costs in ST
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the ST area. 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%) |

| Flat | £95,000 | £125,000 (+32%) | £185,000 (+48%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
