| 2018 | £524,700 | £699,435 | 18 |
In cash terms the typical CB3 1 home went from £524,700 in 2018 to £571,800 in 2025, a 9% rise. Adjust for inflation and the direction reverses: a real fall of about 18%, leaving a typical home cheaper in today's money than in 2018. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 52% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
What CB3 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |

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
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.
The register shows 43 CB3 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. 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 CB3 1
For renting purposes CB3 1 sits in Cambridge. The ONS average private rent there is £1,805 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,255 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,661 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cambridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,805 a month is £21,660 a year, which against the £571,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.
Reading the CB3 1 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CB3 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the CB3 district median, CB3 1 sits 11% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in CB
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.

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