How this area has changed

Typical prices for flats, 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
Eastern Esplanade	–	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales	Not enough sales
Postcode sector CT9 2	£163,500	£142,000 +15% since	£89,975 +82% since	£75,500 +117% since	£90,950 +80% 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.

Sector CT9 2 Thanet Typical price each year, flats. A gap is a year with too few sales.
