In cash terms the typical CM24 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 207%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 28% 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 CM24 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £650,000 against £200,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

What CM24 has returned, per year
| 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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
CM24 recorded 95 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. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around CM24
For renting purposes CM24 sits in Uttlesford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,283 a month (May 2026). 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.
Reading the CM24 market
Only 95 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM24 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 you could buy in CM24 now
Everything above is what homes in CM24 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 17 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 6% below the CM24 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 6% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
