| 1996 | £67,000 | £141,300 | 1,061 |
| 1995 | £64,800 | £140,865 | 768 |
In cash terms the typical PE28 home went from £64,800 in 1995 to £330,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 134%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PE28 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 (+28.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.6%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £428,000 against £150,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

What PE28 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.6% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
PE28 recorded 680 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 746 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.
The shape of the PE28 market
PE28 sits 4 of 35 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of PE28
For renting purposes PE28 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.
Against the £330,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,047 a month (£12,564 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

What another bedroom costs in PE
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £245,000 | £338,000 (+38%) | £482,750 (+43%) | £645,000 (+34%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
