Property investment stats for Odiham, South East

• The private rented sector is unusually large for an area like this, sitting in the 82nd percentile, which could appeal to investors focused on rental income.
• The strongest rental yields are found in the top-performing postcode district, with 3.2%.
• The market's quick turnover, with a median of 49 days on market, suggests good liquidity for those looking to buy or sell.

• Recent capital growth has slowed, with capital growth over one year of 0.1%, so investors expecting short-term price jumps may be disappointed.
• The median discount to asking price of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) indicates some downward pressure on pricing.
• With a relatively high price-to-income ratio of 5.8, affordability could become a constraint if local incomes don't keep pace.

The outlook for Odiham is steady rather than spectacular. The strong growth of the past few years may be hard to repeat, given the recent flattening in annual capital growth. However, with a large private rented sector and decent yields in the best-performing postcode district, there is still a case for income-focused investors.

Liquidity remains good, and the area continues to attract couples and families, supporting demand. Affordability is not stretched by regional standards, but further price gains may depend on local wage growth. Investors should expect a stable market with moderate upside rather than rapid appreciation.
