In cash terms the typical PE28 3 home went from £57,500 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 160%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PE28 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 (−8.7%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 PE28 3
Sales per year, counted
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, 69 sales completed in PE28 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 237 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the PE28 3 market
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.
Rents around PE28 3
For renting purposes PE28 3 sits in Huntingdonshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,047 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £737 a month here against £1,684 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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 price of an extra bedroom in PE
Real sold prices by size across the PE 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 | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,000 | £220,000 (+18%) | £257,500 (+17%) | £340,000 (+32%) | £455,000 (+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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
