In cash terms the typical CR7 8 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 261%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CR7 8 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 (+21.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CR7 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 53 CR7 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 345 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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.
Rents around CR7 8
For renting purposes CR7 8 sits in Croydon. The ONS average private rent there is £1,572 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,256 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,654 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Croydon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,572 a month is £18,864 a year, which against the £400,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.
How CR7 8 trades
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CR7 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Where do CR7 8 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
CR7's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 145 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CR7 district, not just CR7 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
22% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in CR: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CR area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £499,999 | £675,000 (+35%) | £885,000 (+31%) | £1,150,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £365,000 | £435,000 (+19%) | £533,000 (+23%) | £650,000 (+22%) | £775,000 (+19%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
