In cash terms the typical CW3 9 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 158%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the CW3 9 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 2026 (+38.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−12.9%). 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) | +38.1% | +34.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +9.9% | +4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 32 sales completed in CW3 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 108 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the CW3 9 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CW3 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around CW3 9
For renting purposes CW3 9 sits in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The ONS average private rent there is £826 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £574 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,301, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Newcastle-under-Lyme
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £345,000 median purchase price, a rent of £826 a month (£9,912 a year) works out at a 2.9% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CW 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 | — | £260,000 | £365,000 (+40%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £788,000 (+43%) |

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
