In cash terms the typical CB25 home went from £66,500 in 1995 to £405,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 180%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CB25 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 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−8.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £510,000 against £65,000 for a flat, 7.8 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 207 CB25 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 345 sales a year before the financial crisis and 225 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.
The rental side of CB25
For renting purposes CB25 sits in East Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,024 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £721 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,643 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, which against the £405,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CB: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CB area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,500 | £494,995 (+37%) | £689,000 (+39%) | £979,975 (+42%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
