In cash terms the typical RG2 9 home went from £89,200 in 1995 to £428,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 121%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RG2 9 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 2003 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−18.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RG2 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.7% | −6.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
RG2 9 recorded 86 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 302 sales a year over the last five years against 237 before the financial crisis. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the RG2 9 market

Average monthly rent by size, Wokingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £428,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 4.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

RG2's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 70 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole RG2 district, not just RG2 9: live asking prices are collected per district.

Moving up a bedroom in RG: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RG area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £444,995 | £595,000 (+34%) | £830,000 (+39%) | £1,200,000 (+45%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
