How Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden prices moved
The chart tracks the median Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2003 to 2008. 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 | 5 | £180,000 | £327,907 |
The highest yearly median on record for Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden is £201,500 in 2007; the lowest is £145,000 in 2003. Across the full 6-year record the cash median has moved from £145,000 to £180,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £274,062, so the real change over the whole record is +10.2% — about +1.97% 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: +24.1% in cash against +10.2% 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden?
The median price paid in Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden across every sale on the register is £184,500. 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 Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden?

When were Pilgrim Close, Saffron Walden house prices at their highest?
