| 2017 | £467,000 | £636,941 | 59 |
| 2016 | £457,500 | £640,047 | 6 |
In cash terms the typical RG2 6 home went from £457,500 in 2016 to £516,000 in 2026, a 13% rise. In today's money the market has gone backwards by roughly 19%: a home here costs less in real terms now than it did in 2016. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RG2 6 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2026 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−21.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +26.3% | +23.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in RG2 6
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 8 RG2 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of RG2 6
The local authority for RG2 6 is Reading, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,577 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,118 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,362 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Reading
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,577 a month is £18,924 a year, which against the £516,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the RG2 6 market
This is a thin market: 8 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the RG2 district median, RG2 6 sits 34% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in RG
Real sold prices by size across the RG area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
