How Old Forge Way, Cambridge prices moved
The chart tracks the median Old Forge Way, Cambridge house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £58,500 | £129,898 |
| 2000s | 6 | £150,000 | £273,256 |
| 2010s | 5 | £199,000 | £280,590 |
| 2020s | 1 | £322,500 | £329,511 |
The highest yearly median on record for Old Forge Way, Cambridge is £322,500 in 2025; the lowest is £58,500 in 1996. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £58,500 to £322,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £126,900, so the real change over the whole record is +159.7% — about +3.35% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +27.9% in cash against -7.3% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Against the median sale of £176,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.27% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for CB22 in Jun 2026 by Cambridgeshire. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Old Forge Way, Cambridge?
The median price paid in Old Forge Way, Cambridge across every sale on the register is £176,500. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Old Forge Way, Cambridge?
130 sales are on record for Old Forge Way, Cambridge, the most recent completing on 12 Dec 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +27.9% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -7.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Old Forge Way, Cambridge house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £322,500, set in 2025. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Old Forge Way, Cambridge?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 12 Dec 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
