Summary
House prices in SA38: the typical (median) sold price is £235,000, above the Wales average (£215,037) but below the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 8.9%, ahead of Wales (+2.6% on the index), comparing 55 sales with 61, so a handful of homes can swing it. SA38 is a quiet market, with about 6 recorded sales a month. By property type, 64% were detached homes (typically £297,500) and 19% were semi-detached homes (typically £195,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SA38: a quiet market, so take your time
At around 6 sales a month, SA38 is quiet, at a median above last year’s, which says something about those homes and rather less about yours.
If you are selling, most SA38 sales sit between £73,500 and £465,500, which makes £235,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are buying, SA38 sits above the Wales average for typical prices, and still climbing, so test the asking price against recent sold homes of the same type before you stretch to meet it.
On any SA38 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (56 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and the EPC rating, and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free SA38 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

Sold twice: what the same home resold for

In plain English
What the Carmarthenshire (SA38) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £297,500 against £150,000 for terraced homes: about 2.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £73,500 and £465,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (94%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 6 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation (IMD)
Area profile for SA38
The English Indices of Deprivation cover England only, so there is no decile to show for a Wales district. The equivalent measure is the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (Welsh Government), which is published on a different geography and a different scale. The two are not interchangeable, so we do not substitute one for the other.
