In cash terms the typical CM0 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 216%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CM0 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 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CM0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.8% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £430,000 against £160,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Sales activity in CM0
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
CM0 recorded 231 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 432 sales a year before the financial crisis and 257 a year over the last five. 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.
What tenants pay around CM0
For renting purposes CM0 sits in Maldon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,151 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £805 a month here against £1,929 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Maldon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,151 a month is £13,812 a year, which against the £350,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in CM
Real sold prices by size across the CM 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £417,500 | £550,000 (+32%) | £785,000 (+43%) | £1,137,500 (+45%) |
| Semi-detached | £325,000 | £370,000 (+14%) | £447,500 (+21%) | £575,000 (+28%) | £780,000 (+36%) |

| Flat | £202,000 | £280,000 (+39%) | £385,000 (+38%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
