In cash terms the typical CB8 9 home went from £65,100 in 1995 to £432,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 206%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB8 9 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 (+40.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−13.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CB8 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.9% | −11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 CB8 9
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in CB8 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.
How CB8 9 trades
This is a thin market: 26 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the CB8 district median, CB8 9 sits 48% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CB8 9
The local authority for CB8 9 is East Cambridgeshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,024 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £721 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,643 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £432,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.8%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CB
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.
