In cash terms the typical CB24 6 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £337,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CB24 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 2000 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−27.0%). 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) | −27.0% | −28.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.0% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.2% | −3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in CB24 6
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 24 sales completed in CB24 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 110 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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.
How CB24 6 trades
This is a thin market: 24 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 CB24 district median, CB24 6 sits 15% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CB24 6
For renting purposes CB24 6 sits in South Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,407 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,009 a month here against £2,149 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £337,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,407 a month (£16,884 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CB prices by size
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.
| 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.
