How Maes Elen, Carmarthen prices moved

Section 02
The most recent sales

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Maes Elen, Carmarthen values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Maes Elen, Carmarthen is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 21 | 40.4% | £219,995 | £171,995 – £330,000 |
| Semi-detached | 20 | 38.5% | £150,995 | £119,995 – £241,000 |
| Terraced | 11 | 21.2% | £119,995 | £91,911 – £134,995 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Maes Elen, Carmarthen
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 52 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 52 | 100.0% | £159,995 |
| New build | 43 | 82.7% | £152,995 |
| Existing home | 9 | 17.3% | £215,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -28.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 07
Living in Maes Elen, Carmarthen
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Carmarthenshire, 32.1% of 90,585 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 13.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,174 | 1.3% |
| B | 7,144 | 7.9% |
| C | 20,717 | 22.9% |
| D | 30,977 | 34.2% |
| E | 18,519 | 20.4% |
| F | 8,472 | 9.4% |
| G | 3,582 | 4.0% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Carmarthenshire at £684 a month as of Jun 2026 — £498 for a one-bedroom home and £737 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £159,995 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.13% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SA31, 192 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 83 violent, 7 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 17 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 187,897 residents the 2021 census counted in Carmarthenshire, that is 1.02 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Within Carmarthen the street ranks 143 of 385 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £136,000 (+17.6%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £91,911 to £330,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Maes Elen, Carmarthen sits in Carmarthenshire, in Wales.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Carmarthenshire at 5.8 times median local earnings of £32,982 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Maes Elen, Carmarthen?
The median price paid in Maes Elen, Carmarthen across every sale on the register is £159,995. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Maes Elen, Carmarthen?
52 sales are on record for Maes Elen, Carmarthen, the most recent completing on 18 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were Maes Elen, Carmarthen house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £153,995, set in 2020. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Maes Elen, Carmarthen?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 18 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
