In cash terms the typical CO16 9 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 155%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CO16 9 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 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−29.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CO16 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CO16 9
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.
The register shows 40 CO16 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 121 sales a year recently, against 117 a year before 2008. 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.
How CO16 9 trades
This is a thin market: 40 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. Against the CO16 district median, CO16 9 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CO16 9
The local authority for CO16 9 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.
Against the £305,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,051 a month (£12,612 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CO prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CO area, straight 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%) |

| Flat | £150,000 | £190,000 (+27%) | £287,500 (+51%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
