In cash terms the typical CB2 9 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £475,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 192%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB2 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 2013 (+40.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−18.7%). 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) | −18.0% | −19.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.8% | −4.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.5% |
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.
Sales activity in CB2 9
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.
CB2 9 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 149 sales a year over the last five years against 66 before the financial crisis. 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.
What kind of market CB2 9 is
This is a thin market: 42 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around CB2 9
CB2 9 falls under Cambridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,805 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,255 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,661, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cambridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £475,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,805 a month (£21,660 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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.

The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CB area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
