CA2 4 is one sector of CA2 (Carlisle): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

What buyers actually paid in CA2 4
The CA2 4 median stands at £150,000 for 2026, built from 85 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £173,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
CA2 4 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CA2 4 sales average about £1,680 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving CA2 4 47% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical CA2 4 home went from £35,500 in 1995 to £150,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 94%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CA2 4 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 2004 (+33.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.0% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in CA2 4
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 85 CA2 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 242 sales a year before the financial crisis and 148 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.
What tenants pay around CA2 4
The local authority for CA2 4 is Cumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£666 a month is £7,992 a year, which against the £150,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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%) |
| Terraced | £105,000 | £115,000 (+10%) | £132,500 (+15%) | £184,000 (+39%) | £255,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £92,000 | £124,950 (+36%) | £165,500 (+32%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
