In cash terms the typical CV8 home went from £73,000 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 25% 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 CV8 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 (+22.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.9%). 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) | −7.6% | −9.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.1% | −5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £595,000 against £172,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

Sales activity in CV8
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
CV8 recorded 441 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 773 sales a year before the financial crisis and 448 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 CV8
The local authority for CV8 is Warwick, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,238 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £881 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,906, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Warwick
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £365,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,238 a month (£14,856 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CV prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CV area, 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 | — | £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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
