In cash terms the typical CT18 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £347,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CT18 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 1997 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £465,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.3% | −9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 CT18
How many homes change hands
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 196 sales completed in CT18. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 411 sales a year before the financial crisis and 212 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the CT18 market
CT18 sits 4 of 21 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around CT18
CT18 falls under Folkestone and Hythe, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,161 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £793 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,699, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Folkestone and Hythe
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £347,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,161 a month (£13,932 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CT: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CT 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 | — | £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%) |

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.
