CV3 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CV3 (Coventry). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical CV3 5 home went from £51,500 in 1995 to £277,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 148%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CV3 5 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 (+22.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.7% | +4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 56 CV3 5 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 239 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 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 CV3 5
The local authority for CV3 5 is Coventry, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,017 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £757 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,452, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Coventry
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £277,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,017 a month (£12,204 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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 CV3 5 market
Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CV3 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CV3, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

On the market in CV3 today
The live side of the market holds 161 homes at the moment, listed by 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CV3 district, not just CV3 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 27% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. 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.
What another bedroom costs in CV
Real sold prices by size across the CV 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £305,000 | £417,995 (+37%) | £650,000 (+56%) | £910,000 (+40%) |

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.
