In cash terms the typical CM18 6 home went from £50,200 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 202%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM18 6 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 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CM18 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.5% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 51 CM18 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 211 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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.
Rents around CM18 6
For renting purposes CM18 6 sits in Harlow. The ONS average private rent there is £1,517 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,019 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,196, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £330,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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 kind of market CM18 6 is
This is a thin market: 51 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.

How much did a house sell for in CM18 6 (Harlow)?

CM18's current homes for sale

What another bedroom costs in CM
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CM area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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.
