In cash terms the typical CB25 9 home went from £69,500 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 181%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB25 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 2016 (+36.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.0%). 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) | +4.3% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 61 sales completed in CB25 9. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 131 sales a year recently, against 140 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of CB25 9
CB25 9 falls under South Cambridgeshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £425,000 median sold price, £1,407 a month is £16,884 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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