St Ives market report PE27 3, St. Ives
The PE27 3 (St Ives) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,669 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PE27 3 (St. Ives) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 47 registered 2026 sales put the PE27 3 (St. Ives) median at £288,000, up 11% on five years earlier, with a mean of £302,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,850 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,669 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
PE27 3 is one sector of PE27 (St. Ives): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical PE27 3 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £288,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 152%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE27 3 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 (+29.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.5%). 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) | −3.2% | −5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
PE27 3 recorded 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 257 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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.
Rents around PE27 3
For renting purposes PE27 3 sits in Huntingdonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,047 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £737 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,684 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Huntingdonshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,047 a month is £12,564 a year, which against the £288,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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 shape of the PE27 3 market
This is a thin market: 47 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 is for sale in PE27 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 6 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PE27 district, not just PE27 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 33% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

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.
What another bedroom costs in PE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
