In cash terms the typical EX32 7 home went from £38,600 in 1995 to £211,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 151%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 23% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EX32 7 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 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EX32 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.7% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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
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 register shows 18 EX32 7 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 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 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 rental side of EX32 7
The local authority for EX32 7 is North Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £845 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £588 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,330, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £211,000 median sold price, £845 a month is £10,140 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market EX32 7 is
Only 18 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EX32 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the EX32 district median, EX32 7 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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. 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 | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |
| Semi-detached | £230,000 | £275,000 (+20%) | £335,000 (+22%) | £430,000 (+28%) | £569,000 (+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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
