In cash terms the typical CM3 6 home went from £72,000 in 1995 to £458,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 193%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CM3 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 2000 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−14.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CM3 6
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 46 sales completed in CM3 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 202 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 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 CM3 6 is
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CM3 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the CM3 district median, CM3 6 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around CM3 6
CM3 6 falls under Maldon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,151 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £805 a month here against £1,929 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Maldon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £458,500 median sold price, £1,151 a month is £13,812 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CM: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CM area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £417,500 | £550,000 (+32%) | £785,000 (+43%) | £1,137,500 (+45%) |
