improving, held with established confidence, formed on 31 August 2026 from movements in 2026-07.
The average house price in Tendring was £255,805 in March 2026. Households in temporary accommodation fell to 156 in the first quarter of 2026, when 103 households were owed a prevention duty. Rents were broadly flat: a three-bedroom home cost £1,178 a month in March, a semi-detached home £1,131 in April and £1,133 in June, and a home with four or more bedrooms £1,585 in May and £1,582 in July. Fewer households in temporary accommodation is the clearest favourable movement.
A view is formed only where the evidence names a figure you can check. Each movement listed as a reason had to be large enough to matter and distinctive in at least one way — unusual against this area's own history, unusual against comparable areas, or sustained over several periods. A movement shared with peers counts for less, because it says something about the country rather than about Tendring. Where no figure supports a direction we hold no view rather than a hedged one.

These figures carry no defensible direction of their own: a rising house price is good news to an owner and bad news to someone trying to buy, so we do not score one as an improvement. They are shown because they are part of the picture, and they did not decide the view above.
