Market read
Homes in Southwold, Reydon (IP18) sold for a median £478,500 over the period, or about £4,213 per square metre. That leaves the district 56.5% below its peak set in 2023. At 13.0 times median local earnings, that is one of the least affordable ratios in England and Wales. Local rents imply a gross yield near 2.1%. Floor area varies far more than room counts suggest: properties recorded with 6 habitable rooms — bedrooms and receptions together — range from 98 to 180 m² here.

The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Southwold, Reydon, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 47 m² | 55 m² | 70 m² | 15 |
| 3 | 48 m² | 57 m² | 78 m² | 73 |
| 4 | 57 m² | 69 m² | 99 m² | 169 |
| 5 | 80 m² | 102 m² | 142 m² | 204 |
| 6 | 98 m² | 131 m² | 180 m² | 169 |
| 7 | 129 m² | 157 m² | 202 m² | 93 |
| 8 | 137 m² | 173 m² | 249 m² | 46 |
| 9 | 174 m² | 210 m² | 224 m² | 22 |
| 12 | 269 m² | 284 m² | 314 m² | 5 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 6 habitable rooms, ranging from 98 to 180 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
