Property Market Overview — Swansea saw nearly 17,500 residential sales over five years, reflecting steady market activity across a diverse housing stock. The median price of £185,000 sits comfortably below the mean of £224,917, indicating that while most properties cluster in the lower-to-mid range, a significant proportion of higher-value homes pull the average up.
Property Types and Price Differences — Semi-detached homes dominate by volume (6,103 sales) and sit at the mid-market point of £202,133. Terraced properties are notably cheaper at £160,029 and represent the second-largest segment, while detached houses command substantially more at £347,036—roughly 2.3 times the price of terraced homes. Flats are the most affordable option at £151,512 but account for only a small share of sales.
Price Trends Over Time — The market has strengthened considerably, with prices rising 24% over the five-year period. Recent momentum accelerated, with 2025 reaching £238,638 before settling to £229,718 in the latest 12 months—still well above the 2021 baseline of £214,585.
What Stands Out — Semi-detached homes clearly dominate local transactions, suggesting they appeal widely to the buyer base. The recent price range, from £97,500 to £338,000, reveals significant variation within the market, with plenty of entry-level stock alongside premium properties.
