CB1 9 is one sector of CB1 (Cambridge): 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.

In cash terms the typical CB1 9 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £426,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 230%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB1 9 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 2000 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−4.4%). 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) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 30 CB1 9 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 210 sales a year before the financial crisis and 85 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around CB1 9
For renting purposes CB1 9 sits in Cambridge. The ONS average private rent there is £1,805 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,255 a month here against £2,661 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cambridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £426,500 median sold price, £1,805 a month is £21,660 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How CB1 9 trades
This is a thin market: 30 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. Against the CB1 district median, CB1 9 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in CB
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CB area. 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 | — | £360,500 | £494,995 (+37%) | £689,000 (+39%) | £979,975 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £260,000 | £325,000 (+25%) | £408,000 (+26%) | £562,500 (+38%) | £760,000 (+35%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
