In cash terms the typical EX23 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 177%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX23 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 (+31.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.5% | −10.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £400,000 against £220,000 for a flat, 1.8 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
EX23 recorded 205 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 383 sales a year before the financial crisis and 246 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 homes rent for around EX23
EX23 falls under Cornwall, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £691 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,510 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £325,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,003 a month (£12,036 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in EX
What homes of each size actually sold for across the EX 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |

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.
