CA5 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CA5 (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.

In cash terms the typical CA5 6 home went from £61,000 in 1995 to £288,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 118%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CA5 6 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 2024 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−18.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CA5 6 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 60 sales a year recently, against 63 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How CA5 6 trades
This is a thin market: 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Rents around CA5 6
CA5 6 falls under Cumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,071 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £288,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.8%. 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.

What is for sale in CA5 right now
The live side of the market holds 36 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CA5 district, not just CA5 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
11% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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.
