In cash terms the typical CT16 2 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CT16 2 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 (+24.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.7%). 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) | +2.3% | −0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in CT16 2
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 53 sales completed in CT16 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 201 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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.
The rental side of CT16 2
The local authority for CT16 2 is Dover, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,012 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £722 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,649 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Dover
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,012 a month (£12,144 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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 CT16 2 market
This is a thin market: 53 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. Within CT16, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £465,000 (+33%) | £665,000 (+43%) | £930,000 (+40%) |

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
