In cash terms the typical CT16 1 home went from £41,500 in 1995 to £177,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 97%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CT16 1 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 2013 (+43.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−22.2%). 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) | −11.3% | −13.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
CT16 1 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 100 sales a year before the financial crisis and 49 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.
Reading the CT16 1 market
This is a thin market: 18 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the CT16 district median, CT16 1 sits 28% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of CT16 1
For renting purposes CT16 1 sits in Dover. The ONS average private rent there is £1,012 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £722 a month here against £1,649 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dover
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £177,500 median sold price, £1,012 a month is £12,144 a year, a gross yield of 6.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in CT
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CT area, 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 | — | £350,000 | £465,000 (+33%) | £665,000 (+43%) | £930,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £275,000 | £300,000 (+9%) | £350,000 (+17%) | £460,000 (+31%) | £575,000 (+25%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
