How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

| Postcode sector CM8 2 | £345,000 | £304,995 +13% since | £260,000 +33% since | £180,000 +92% since | £162,000 +113% since |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in CM8 2, over the last five years (1,110 sales):
- What sells: 32% terraced, 26% semi-detached, 23% flats, 17% detached, 2% other.
- 24% sold leasehold, and 11% were new builds.
- 180 sales in the last twelve months, against 348 in the same twelve months five years ago.
