In cash terms the typical CM19 5 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £337,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 182%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM19 5 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 (+22.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CM19 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.6% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 32 CM19 5 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 217 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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 homes rent for around CM19 5
The local authority for CM19 5 is Harlow, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,019 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,196 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Harlow
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £337,500 median sold price, £1,517 a month is £18,204 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How CM19 5 trades
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM19 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.
