The CM13 median stands at £530,000 for 2026, built from 125 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £617,300, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.

In cash terms the typical CM13 home went from £87,500 in 1995 to £530,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 179%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CM13 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 2003 (+20.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £836,000 against £285,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.2% | +5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.1% |
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.
Sales activity in CM13
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 295 sales completed in CM13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 495 sales a year before the financial crisis and 360 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 tenants pay around CM13
CM13 falls under Brentwood, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,613 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,102 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,402 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Brentwood
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,613 a month is £19,356 a year, which against the £530,000 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CM prices by size
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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
