In cash terms the typical CO16 7 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £223,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 124%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CO16 7 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 (+47.4% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−18.5%). 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) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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 CO16 7
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CO16 7 recorded 18 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 127 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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 CO16 7
CO16 7 falls under Tendring, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,051 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £757 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,585, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tendring
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £223,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,051 a month (£12,612 a year) works out at a 5.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market CO16 7 is
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CO16 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the CO16 district median, CO16 7 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: CO prices by size
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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
