Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 28 registered 2026 sales put the SY23 1 (Aberystwyth) median at £208,000, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £236,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,400 per square metre over the last five years.

SY23 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SY23 (Aberystwyth). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

House prices per square metre in SY23 1

In cash terms the typical SY23 1 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £208,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 74%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SY23 1 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 (+28.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−9.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.7% | +4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 28 SY23 1 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 105 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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 SY23 1 is
This is a thin market: 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within SY23, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around SY23 1
For renting purposes SY23 1 sits in Ceredigion. The ONS average private rent there is £714 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £555 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,074 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Ceredigion
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £208,000 median purchase price, a rent of £714 a month (£8,568 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
SY23 1 (Llanrhystud): the questions that come up
Is SY23 1 (Llanrhystud) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SY23 1 (Llanrhystud)?
Are property prices falling in SY23 1 (Llanrhystud)?

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
SY23's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 64 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SY23 district, not just SY23 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
25% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Llywernog, Ponterwyd, Aberystwyth, Ce...
- Devils Bridge, Aberystwyth, Ceredigio...
- Y Gorlan, Llanilar, Aberystwyth, Cere...
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.
Moving up a bedroom in SY: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SY area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,700 | £355,000 (+38%) | £522,750 (+47%) | £680,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,500 | £220,000 (+17%) | £257,000 (+17%) | £347,500 (+35%) | £440,000 (+27%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers
