How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherry Drive | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector CT2 8 | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £265,750 |

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 CT2 8, over the last five years (586 sales):
- What sells: 33% terraced, 32% semi-detached, 22% flats, 10% detached, 3% other.
- 23% sold leasehold.
- 101 sales in the last twelve months, against 140 in the same twelve months five years ago.
