CA1 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CA1 (Carlisle). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

Today's CA1 3 prices, from the sold record
The CA1 3 median stands at £158,000 for 2026, built from 91 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £187,000, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in CA1 3
The last five years of sales put CA1 3 at roughly £1,950 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CA1 3 45% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical CA1 3 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £158,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 102%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CA1 3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+80.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CA1 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 91 sales completed in CA1 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 283 sales a year before the financial crisis and 174 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of CA1 3
CA1 3 falls under Cumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £496 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,071, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £158,000 median purchase price, a rent of £666 a month (£7,992 a year) works out at a 5.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in CA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CA area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |
| Semi-detached | £142,000 | £155,000 (+9%) | £205,000 (+32%) | £265,000 (+29%) | £357,500 (+35%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
