How Bowes Wood, Longfield prices moved
The chart tracks the median Bowes Wood, Longfield house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 3 | £164,250 | £299,215 |
| 2020s | 2 | £420,000 | £429,130 |
The highest yearly median on record for Bowes Wood, Longfield is £485,000 in 2021; the lowest is £138,250 in 2001. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £164,250 to £485,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £328,500, so the real change over the whole record is +86.5% — about +3.01% 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: +155.3% in cash against +67.2% 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.
