How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downs Way | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector RG31 6 | £430,000 | £375,000 +15% since | £365,000 +18% since | £228,750 +88% since | £219,975 +95% since |

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 6, over the last five years (705 sales):
- What sells: 38% semi-detached, 32% detached, 17% terraced, 11% flats, 2% other.
- 14% sold leasehold.
- 124 sales in the last twelve months, against 210 in the same twelve months five years ago.
