In cash terms the typical CM6 2 home went from £101,000 in 1995 to £402,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 83%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 36% 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 CM6 2 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 2004 (+29.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−20.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.6% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.1% | −7.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 38 CM6 2 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 112 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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 CM6 2
CM6 2 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.
£1,283 a month is £15,396 a year, which against the £402,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How CM6 2 trades
This is a thin market: 38 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CM prices by size
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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
