Today's RG7 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for RG7 is £465,500, taken from 178 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £502,400, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
RG7 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of RG7 sales average about £4,680 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical RG7 home went from £93,000 in 1995 to £465,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RG7 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 2000 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £670,000 against £260,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RG7
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 406 RG7 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 632 sales a year before the financial crisis and 431 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 RG7
For renting purposes RG7 sits in West Berkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,290 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £902 a month here against £2,121 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Berkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £465,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,290 a month (£15,480 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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 price of an extra bedroom in RG
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.
