| Year | Median (cash) | Median (today's £) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | £340,000 | £340,000 | 7 |
| 2025 | £386,500 | £395,742 | 35 |
| 2024 | £350,000 | £372,122 | 47 |
| 2023 | £362,500 | £398,299 | 62 |
| 2022 | £370,000 | £433,867 | 88 |
| 2021 | £345,000 | £436,815 | 60 |
| 2020 | £347,400 | £450,759 | 10 |
In cash terms the typical CB7 6 home went from £347,400 in 2020 to £340,000 in 2026, a -2% rise. Adjust for inflation and the direction reverses: a real fall of about 25%, leaving a typical home cheaper in today's money than in 2020. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.0% | −14.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 7 CB7 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. 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.
Reading the CB7 6 market
Only 7 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CB7 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CB7, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around CB7 6
For renting purposes CB7 6 sits in East Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,024 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £721 a month here against £1,643 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, East Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £340,000 median sold price, £1,024 a month is £12,288 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CB
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CB area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
