Property Market Overview
Reading's property market is active and diverse, with nearly 25,000 sales over five years. The median price of £407,500 sits below the mean of £464,844, reflecting a mix of property types across different price brackets. Long-term appreciation has been modest at 5.6% over the five-year period.
Property Types and Price Differences
Detached homes command significantly higher prices at £735,164—roughly double the cost of flats at £259,138. Semi-detached properties cluster close to the market mean at £464,236, while terraced homes fall between flats and semi-detached at £362,009. All four types achieved substantial sales volumes, indicating broad demand across the market.
Price Trends Over Time
Prices peaked in 2023 at £474,860 before softening, with recent average prices (£411,787) now around 13% below that high. This represents a retreat toward 2021 levels and suggests the market has cooled after several years of gains.
