How St Catherines, Wimborne prices moved
The chart tracks the median St Catherines, Wimborne house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2005. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £59,975 | £133,173 |
| 2000s | 2 | £140,000 | £255,039 |
The highest yearly median on record for St Catherines, Wimborne is £192,500 in 2005; the lowest is £59,975 in 1996. Across the full 11-year record the cash median has moved from £65,750 to £192,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £145,996, so the real change over the whole record is +140.2% — about +9.16% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +192.8% in cash against +140.2% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole at £1,402 a month as of Jun 2026 — £921 for a one-bedroom home and £1,460 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £200,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.41% 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 BH21, 41 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 12 violent, 3 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 9 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.1 times quieter.
Against the 400,196 residents the 2021 census counted in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, that is 0.10 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in St Catherines, Wimborne?

When were St Catherines, Wimborne house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £192,500, set in 2005. 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 St Catherines, Wimborne?
£2,212 per square metre, from the 32 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 23 Jan 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.
