In cash terms the typical CO15 5 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £288,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 160%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 24% 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 CO15 5 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 2002 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.4%). 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) | −8.3% | −10.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 62 sales completed in CO15 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 227 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.

Average monthly rent by size, Tendring
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,051 a month is £12,612 a year, which against the £288,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CO: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CO area, 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 | — | £315,000 | £430,000 (+37%) | £625,000 (+45%) | £865,000 (+38%) |
