In cash terms the typical CB6 3 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 140%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB6 3 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 2002 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.1%). 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) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in CB6 3
The year-by-year sales count
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 3 recorded 75 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 394 sales a year before the financial crisis and 164 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 shape of the CB6 3 market
Within CB6, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around CB6 3
CB6 3 falls under East Cambridgeshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £365,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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
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.
