In cash terms the typical CO13 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 145%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CO13 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 2001 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.9%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £400,000 against £235,000 for a flat, 1.7 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
CO13 recorded 241 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 377 sales a year before the financial crisis and 278 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.
The rental side of CO13
The local authority for CO13 is Tendring, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,051 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £757 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,585 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tendring
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £320,000 median sold price, £1,051 a month is £12,612 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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: CO prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CO 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 | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £245,000 | £285,000 (+16%) | £335,000 (+18%) | £420,000 (+25%) | £565,000 (+35%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
