In cash terms the typical CB24 9 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £525,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB24 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−7.2%). 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) | +6.1% | +3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.4% | +1.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 28 sales completed in CB24 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 149 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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 9 trades
This is a thin market: 28 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. Within CB24, this sector trades 32% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of CB24 9
For renting purposes CB24 9 sits in South Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,407 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £525,000 median sold price, £1,407 a month is £16,884 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CB: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CB area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
