Today's SY24 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for SY24 is £201,500, taken from 20 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £213,100, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
SY24 prices by floor area
A square metre of SY24 home has cost about £2,520 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SY24 29% below the country at large.

| 1996 | £49,000 | £103,339 | 79 |
| 1995 | £46,600 | £101,301 | 56 |
In cash terms the typical SY24 home went from £46,600 in 1995 to £201,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 99%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 37% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY24 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 (+42.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−20.4%). 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) | −12.4% | −14.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.3% | −8.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. In 2020, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £250,000 against £98,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 60 sales completed in SY24. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 83 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 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.
What homes rent for around SY24
The local authority for SY24 is Ceredigion, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £201,500 median purchase price, a rent of £714 a month (£8,568 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.
The shape of the SY24 market
This is a thin market: 60 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. 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. Among the 25 measurable districts of its area, SY24 ranks 22 by median price: towards the affordable end.

The price of an extra bedroom in SY
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £155,000 | £183,750 (+19%) | £215,000 (+17%) | £275,500 (+28%) | £385,000 (+40%) |
| Flat | £124,000 | £176,500 (+42%) | £280,000 (+59%) | — | — |
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.
