| 1995 | £94,000 | £204,342 | 86 |
In cash terms the typical RG6 7 home went from £94,000 in 1995 to £530,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 159%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RG6 7 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 1997 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.9%). 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) | −4.5% | −6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 37 RG6 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.
Rents around RG6 7
The local authority for RG6 7 is Wokingham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,482 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,065 a month here against £2,329 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Wokingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £530,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.
The shape of the RG6 7 market
This is a thin market: 37 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. Within RG6, this sector trades 20% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What you could buy in RG6 now
Turning to what is actually available: 104 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole RG6 district, not just RG6 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
36% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £444,995 | £595,000 (+34%) | £830,000 (+39%) | £1,200,000 (+45%) |
| Semi-detached | £310,000 | £385,000 (+24%) | £455,500 (+18%) | £579,500 (+27%) | £784,000 (+35%) |

| Flat | £200,000 | £270,000 (+35%) | £409,950 (+52%) | £638,750 (+56%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
