The going rate for a home in CV3
Take the 268 registered 2026 sales in CV3 and the middle price, the median, is £250,000. The mean lands at £267,300, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
House prices per square metre in CV3
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in CV3 costs about £3,000 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so CV3 trades 12% below the country as a whole.
The price of a typical CV3 home, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical CV3 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 140%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CV3 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 (+21.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.5%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £346,500 against £140,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

| Semi-detached | £279,000 | 105 | 10,605 |

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in CV3
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 589 CV3 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 1,223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 676 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.
Rents around CV3
The local authority for CV3 is Coventry, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,017 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £757 a month here against £1,452 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Coventry
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,017 a month is £12,204 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Bedroom by bedroom: CV prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CV area, straight 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 | — | £305,000 | £417,995 (+37%) | £650,000 (+56%) | £910,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £255,000 (+19%) | £307,000 (+20%) | £425,000 (+38%) | £607,500 (+43%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
