In cash terms the typical RG21 3 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £341,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RG21 3 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, 2009 (−25.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RG21 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.7% | +3.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RG21 3
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 46 sales completed in RG21 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around RG21 3
The local authority for RG21 3 is Basingstoke and Deane, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,317 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £936 a month here against £2,080 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Basingstoke and Deane
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,317 a month is £15,804 a year, which against the £341,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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 RG21 3 market
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RG21 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the RG21 district median, RG21 3 sits 19% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: RG prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RG area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
