In cash terms the typical EX32 0 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX32 0 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 1999 (+34.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.1%). 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) | −9.5% | −11.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
EX32 0 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 98 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
Reading the EX32 0 market
This is a thin market: 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the EX32 district median, EX32 0 sits 22% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of EX32 0
The local authority for EX32 0 is North Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £845 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £588 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,330 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£845 a month is £10,140 a year, which against the £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in EX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EX area. 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.

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