How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area Now 5 years ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
Benson Road – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector SO15 8 – £262,500 Not enough sales Not enough sales £171,500
Southampton £300,000 £270,000 +11% since £225,000 +33% since £180,000 +67% since £168,500 +78% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
