In cash terms the typical CM24 8 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 207%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM24 8 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 2000 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +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 CM24 8
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.
CM24 8 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 167 sales a year before the financial crisis and 101 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 kind of market CM24 8 is
Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM24 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What tenants pay around CM24 8
CM24 8 falls under Uttlesford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,283 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £900 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,028, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Uttlesford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £420,000 median sold price, £1,283 a month is £15,396 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

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. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
