In cash terms the typical CW9 8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW9 8 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 2006 (+36.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.6%). 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) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 98 CW9 8 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 412 sales a year before the financial crisis and 220 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.

What another bedroom costs in CW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CW area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
