Property investment stats for Eastleigh, South East

• Investors can benefit from 5.4% average rental yields, and the top-performing district offers yields of 5.3%.
• The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £375,000, while the median rent is £1,525, suggesting potential for solid rental income.
• Liquidity appears reasonable, with annual sales at 606 and properties spending a median of 59 days on the market.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -2.4%, which may concern those seeking short-term appreciation.
• There is a median discount of £2,500 (the typical achieved discount), indicating buyers may have room to negotiate on price.
• The private rented sector is in the 41st percentile, so while not weak, it may not offer the scale of opportunity found in higher-ranked areas.

Looking ahead, I expect Eastleigh to offer steady if unspectacular returns, with a balanced mix of owner-occupied and rented homes and a strong showing from families and couples. The area’s affordability, as shown by a 5.4 price-to-income ratio, should help underpin demand from both buyers and renters.

Rental yields of 5.4% provide some cushion against flat or changing capital values, and liquidity is supported by annual sales figures and days on market. Investors should, however, keep an eye on local supply and demand, as well as the median discount, which hints at some buyer leverage. Overall, Eastleigh looks set to remain a stable choice for income-focused investors, but those seeking rapid capital growth may want to temper expectations.
