Property Market Overview — Cambridge's market remains active with over 21,000 sales across five years, though pricing has shifted considerably. The mean price sits at £603,861, though the median of £439,950 reflects a market where detached homes pull the average upward. Recent 12-month data shows prices settling around £491,250, indicating sustained movement across the local market.
Property Types and Price Differences — Detached homes command the highest prices at £677,945, roughly double what flats typically fetch at £320,278. Terraced and semi-detached properties cluster closely in the mid-range between £467,000 and £480,000, with detached homes accounting for nearly 29% of all sales despite their premium positioning.
Price Trends Over Time — The market has experienced notable contraction over five years, declining 19.8% from earlier levels. Prices peaked in 2022 at £631,721 and have gradually fallen, with the most recent 12 months averaging £491,250—the lowest point in the recorded period.
What Stands Out — The gap between recent maximum and minimum prices (£920,000 to £282,500) reveals significant variety within the market. Flats represent the smallest segment by transaction volume at roughly 17%, while the consistent performance of terraced and semi-detached homes suggests they form the backbone of the market.
