In cash terms the typical SY23 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 101%: 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 22% 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 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 (+33.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.6%). 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) | +11.6% | +9.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £307,500 against £173,500 for a flat, 1.8 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
SY23 recorded 251 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 413 sales a year before the financial crisis and 286 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.
The rental side of SY23
SY23 falls under Ceredigion, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £714 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £555 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,074, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Ceredigion
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £240,000 median sold price, £714 a month is £8,568 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in SY
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY 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 | — | £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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
