In cash terms the typical MK9 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £187,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 41% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the MK9 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 2001 (+50.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−23.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 88% of the typed total. In 2004, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £220,000 against £105,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

What MK9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −19.4% | −21.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.6% | −9.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | −3.7% | −7.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.1% | −4.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in MK9
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
MK9 recorded 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 125 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 MK9 market
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes MK9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. MK9 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.
What homes rent for around MK9
MK9 falls under Milton Keynes, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,336 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £972 a month here against £2,080 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Milton Keynes
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £187,500 median sold price, £1,336 a month is £16,032 a year, a gross yield of 8.6%: 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.

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.
When homes in MK9 change hands
Take the 423 MK9 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 16.3% of the total, June trails with 5.4%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

| January | 32 | 7.6% |

What another bedroom costs in MK
Real sold prices by size across the MK area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | £309,995 | £366,000 (+18%) | £425,000 (+16%) | £525,000 (+24%) | £650,000 (+24%) |
| Semi-detached | £260,000 | £300,000 (+15%) | £345,000 (+15%) | £400,000 (+16%) | £490,000 (+23%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
