In cash terms the typical SY3 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £312,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SY3 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 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.5% | +0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £425,000 against £165,800 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SY3
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 monthly pulse, last five years
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, 498 sales completed in SY3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 772 sales a year before the financial crisis and 504 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.
Reading the SY3 market

What homes rent for around SY3

Average monthly rent by size, Shropshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £312,500 median sold price, £813 a month is £9,756 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SY prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SY area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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