In cash terms the typical EX37 9 home went from £53,800 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 191%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EX37 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 1998 (+44.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2006 (−20.8%). 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) | −8.4% | −10.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in EX37 9
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
EX37 9 recorded 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 63 sales a year before the financial crisis and 42 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How EX37 9 trades
Only 20 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EX37 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around EX37 9
For renting purposes EX37 9 sits in North Devon. The ONS average private rent there is £845 a month (May 2026). 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.
£845 a month is £10,140 a year, which against the £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in EX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EX area. 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 | — | £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.
