In cash terms the typical CB23 7 home went from £82,000 in 1995 to £438,400 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 146%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB23 7 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 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CB23 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.5% | −12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
CB23 7 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 177 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 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 CB23 7
The local authority for CB23 7 is South Cambridgeshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,407 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,009 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,149, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,407 a month is £16,884 a year, which against the £438,400 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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 kind of market CB23 7 is
This is a thin market: 36 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. Against the CB23 district median, CB23 7 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CB
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CB area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,500 | £494,995 (+37%) | £689,000 (+39%) | £979,975 (+42%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
