| 1996 | £53,500 | £112,829 | 335 |
| 1995 | £54,500 | £118,475 | 281 |
In cash terms the typical CM19 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £348,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 194%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CM19 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 (+22.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−3.9%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £547,500 against £175,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −0.3% | −2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.1% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 155 CM19 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 398 sales a year before the financial crisis and 175 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.
The shape of the CM19 market
In its area's price order CM19 comes 20 of 25, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What homes rent for around CM19
The local authority for CM19 is Harlow, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,517 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £348,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,517 a month (£18,204 a year) works out at a 5.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What happens to CM19 prices now?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What you could buy in CM19 now
Everything above is what homes in CM19 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 165 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 7% below the CM19 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (155 in CM19), the 165 homes listed here amount to about 13 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. That is a long queue: stock is building faster than it sells, which is the buyer's moment to negotiate.
Of everything listed here, 10% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
CM19: the homes on offer and the homes that go
Detached homes are 13% of what sold in CM19 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 13% |
| Semi-detached | 15% | 17% |
| Terraced | 65% | 54% |
| Flats | 20% | 16% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
When homes in CM19 change hands
September is when CM19 changes hands most (11.0% of the 1,066 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.8%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 73 | 6.8% |
| February | 86 | 8.1% |
| March | 100 | 9.4% |
| April | 78 | 7.3% |
| May | 75 | 7.0% |

What another bedroom costs in CM
Real sold prices by size across the CM area, straight 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 | £373,000 | £425,000 (+14%) | £485,000 (+14%) | £624,995 (+29%) | £830,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £310,000 | £350,000 (+13%) | £405,250 (+16%) | £500,000 (+23%) | £620,000 (+24%) |
| Terraced | £250,000 | £319,000 (+28%) | £352,500 (+11%) | £450,000 (+28%) | £599,995 (+33%) |
| Flat | £180,000 | £238,000 (+32%) | £311,000 (+31%) | £375,000 (+21%) | £547,500 (+46%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
