In cash terms the typical EX37 home went from £53,800 in 1995 to £336,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 194%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 23% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the EX37 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.

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.

EX37 recorded 61 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 54 sales a year recently, against 63 a year before 2008. 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.

What homes rent for around EX37

EX37 falls under North Devon, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.

Set against the £336,000 median sold price, £845 a month is £10,140 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: 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.

Will EX37 prices rise from here?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 5% over five years in cash but down 15% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers

EX37 ranks 13 of 33 in the EX area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.
