| 1995 | £106,400 | £231,297 | 81 |
In cash terms the typical CR2 9 home went from £106,400 in 1995 to £590,000 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. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CR2 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 2010 (+20.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.4% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.1% |
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.
Sales activity in CR2 9
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.
CR2 9 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 115 sales a year before the financial crisis and 75 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CR2 9
CR2 9 falls under Croydon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,572 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,256 a month here against £2,654 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £590,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,572 a month (£18,864 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.
The shape of the CR2 9 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CR2 9 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 CR2 district median, CR2 9 sits 31% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CR area. 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.
