In cash terms the typical SY23 4 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 137%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SY23 4 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 (+45.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY23 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.1% | +0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 18 SY23 4 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 79 sales a year before the financial crisis and 52 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around SY23 4
SY23 4 falls under Ceredigion, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £714 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £555 a month here against £1,074 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Ceredigion
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £262,500 median purchase price, a rent of £714 a month (£8,568 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.
Reading the SY23 4 market
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY23 4 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. Within SY23, this sector trades 9% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Bedroom by bedroom: SY prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,700 | £355,000 (+38%) | £522,750 (+47%) | £680,000 (+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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
