In cash terms the typical CB6 2 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 147%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB6 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 2000 (+23.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.4%). 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) | −5.7% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 2
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.
CB6 2 recorded 68 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 325 sales a year before the financial crisis and 238 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.
What homes rent for around CB6 2
The local authority for CB6 2 is East Cambridgeshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, which against the £330,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

CB6's current homes for sale
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 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
34% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. 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.

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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
