In cash terms the typical CM17 9 home went from £79,000 in 1995 to £386,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 125%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM17 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 (+19.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−7.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CM17 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 104 sales completed in CM17 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 564 sales a year before the financial crisis and 246 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.
Rents around CM17 9
CM17 9 falls under Harlow, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,019 a month here against £2,196 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Harlow
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,517 a month is £18,204 a year, which against the £386,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CM area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
