In cash terms the typical IG3 9 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £532,500 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 245%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the IG3 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 2002 (+31.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.7%). 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) | +0.5% | −1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.9% | +1.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in IG3 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in IG3 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 327 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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.
The shape of the IG3 9 market
This is a thin market: 36 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.
What tenants pay around IG3 9
For renting purposes IG3 9 sits in Redbridge. The ONS average private rent there is £1,725 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,365 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,714 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Redbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £532,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,725 a month (£20,700 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.

Will IG3 9 prices rise from here?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% 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.
What you could buy in IG3 now
Turning to what is actually available: 102 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IG3 district, not just IG3 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
18% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in IG
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IG 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.
