In cash terms the typical PE37 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £258,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: 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 17% 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 PE37 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 (+24.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.9%). 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, 55% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £325,000 against £118,800 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
PE37 recorded 195 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 237 sales a year recently, against 252 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around PE37
For renting purposes PE37 sits in Breckland. The ONS average private rent there is £920 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £659 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,507 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Breckland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£920 a month is £11,040 a year, which against the £258,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PE prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PE area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
