Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SY9: a quiet market, so take your time
SY9 is a thin market, at roughly 3 sales a month, at a lower median than a year ago, so the pressure is on sellers and buyers can take their time.
If you are thinking of selling, with detached homes at £397,500 and flats at £150,000, the £127,800 to £557,000 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, SY9 sits close to the UK average for typical prices, with prices easing, so it is fair to ask why an asking price sits above recent sales.
Before an offer goes in on any SY9 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (13 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and the EPC, since it drives running costs, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
With averages this broad, the free SY9 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Powys (SY9) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £397,500 against £150,000 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £127,800 and £557,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (96%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 237 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 3 recorded sales a month.
