How Croft Road, Newmarket prices moved
The chart tracks the median Croft Road, Newmarket house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £44,000 | £97,701 |
| 2000s | 8 | £114,000 | £207,674 |
| 2010s | 5 | £198,150 | £279,392 |
| 2020s | 1 | £202,500 | £206,902 |
The highest yearly median on record for Croft Road, Newmarket is £207,000 in 2016; the lowest is £43,500 in 1995. Across the full 27-year record the cash median has moved from £43,500 to £202,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £96,591, so the real change over the whole record is +164.9% — about +3.82% 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: +55.8% in cash against +23.3% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Croft Road, Newmarket is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Ownership and new build in Croft Road, Newmarket
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 150 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across East Cambridgeshire, 47.9% of 44,518 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in East Cambridgeshire at £1,029 a month as of Jun 2026 — £725 for a one-bedroom home and £1,157 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £127,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.68% 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.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CB8, 6 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 3 violent, 0 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 27.8 times quieter.
Against the 87,762 residents the 2021 census counted in East Cambridgeshire, that is 0.07 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Croft Road, Newmarket
The 2021 census counted 87,762 residents in East Cambridgeshire across 37,202 households. 69.5% of those households own their home and 30.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
14 state and independent schools have a CB8 postcode: 13 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Croft Road, Newmarket compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Croft Road, Newmarket sits below that national figure — -19.0%.
Within Newmarket the street ranks 379 of 433 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £180,000 (-29.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,105 per square metre, across 41 of the 150 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £25,000 to £393,500. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Croft Road, Newmarket sits in East Cambridgeshire, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in East Cambridgeshire at 10.0 times median local earnings of £34,117 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Croft Road, Newmarket?
The median price paid in Croft Road, Newmarket across every sale on the register is £127,500. 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 Croft Road, Newmarket?

In cash, the median rose +55.8% between 2010 and 2021. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +23.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Croft Road, Newmarket house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £207,000, set in 2016. 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 Croft Road, Newmarket?
£2,105 per square metre, from the 41 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 12 Jun 2026. 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.
