In cash terms the typical CB4 2 home went from £54,200 in 1995 to £380,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 223%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2015; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2015 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB4 2 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 2015 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CB4 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.3% | −1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 42 sales completed in CB4 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 206 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 a year over the last five. 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 shape of the CB4 2 market
This is a thin market: 42 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. Against the CB4 district median, CB4 2 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around CB4 2
CB4 2 falls under Cambridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,805 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,255 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,661, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cambridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £380,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,805 a month (£21,660 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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
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.
