How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elder Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector RG31 5 | £445,000 | £377,250 +18% since | £355,000 +25% since | £238,000 +87% since | £218,875 +103% since |
| Newbury | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in RG31 5, over the last five years (542 sales):
- What sells: 42% semi-detached, 22% detached, 17% terraced, 16% flats, 2% other.
- 17% sold leasehold, and 8% were new builds.
- 84 sales in the last twelve months, against 141 in the same twelve months five years ago.
