In cash terms the typical PE21 8 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £138,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 105%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE21 8 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 (+30.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.2% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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 PE21 8
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.
PE21 8 recorded 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 320 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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.
What kind of market PE21 8 is
This is a thin market: 33 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. Within PE21, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around PE21 8
For renting purposes PE21 8 sits in Boston. The ONS average private rent there is £796 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £597 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,271, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Boston
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £138,000 median purchase price, a rent of £796 a month (£9,552 a year) works out at a 6.9% 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.
