Police are appealing for anyone with information about the burglaries - or who is offered similar property for sale - to come forward.
South Wales Police detective inspector Dave Peart of Neath CID said: "We are appealing for reports of any sightings of suspicious vehicles or individuals in communities.
"We are investigating potential links to cold caller incidents at addresses where offenders will pretend to be selling services such as window cleaning or gutter repairs or be responding to fictitious online adverts.
"Householders should always verify callers and if they believe them to be suspicious in any way then I would urge them to contact police immediately, taking note of descriptions and details of any vehicles being used."
He added "We have locked up a number of burglary suspects recently but we really need the assistance of the public to come forward and report any suspicious incidents to us."
Officers have been carrying out house-to-house and CCTV enquiries around the areas where the burglaries have occurred
