In cash terms the typical CT9 3 home went from £59,700 in 1995 to £319,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 146%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CT9 3 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 2003 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CT9 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.6% | +1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CT9 3
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.
CT9 3 recorded 62 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 242 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
What tenants pay around CT9 3
For renting purposes CT9 3 sits in Thanet. The ONS average private rent there is £1,109 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £766 a month here against £1,669 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Thanet
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £319,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,109 a month (£13,308 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.
Reading the CT9 3 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within CT9, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What another bedroom costs in CT
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CT 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.

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