How Rectory Fields, Cranbrook prices moved
The chart tracks the median Rectory Fields, Cranbrook house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2022. 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 | £70,000 | £155,433 |
| 2010s | 3 | £215,000 | £303,150 |
| 2020s | 2 | £245,000 | £250,326 |
The highest yearly median on record for Rectory Fields, Cranbrook is £260,000 in 2022; the lowest is £70,000 in 1997. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £70,000 to £260,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £148,421, so the real change over the whole record is +103.0% — about +2.87% 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: +58.8% in cash against +20.0% 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.

Ownership and new build in Rectory Fields, Cranbrook

| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 40 | 42.1% | £157,750 |
| Freehold | 55 | 57.9% | £227,500 |
