In cash terms the typical CB6 1 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £285,900 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 163%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB6 1 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 2003 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.2% | −11.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Sales activity in CB6 1
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, 66 sales completed in CB6 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 274 sales a year before the financial crisis and 191 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.
The rental side of CB6 1
For renting purposes CB6 1 sits in East Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,024 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £721 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,643, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £285,900 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

On the market in CB6 today
Turning to what is actually available: 102 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CB6 district, not just CB6 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 34% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Garden Close, Sutton, Ely, Cambridges...
- Main Street, Wentworth, Ely, CB6
- Perry Close, Haddenham, Ely
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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.
| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
