Caversham property market: common questions
Where is Caversham?
Caversham is about 2 miles north of central Reading, in Berkshire.
What is the average house price in Caversham?
The median asking price across the 158 homes for sale in Caversham is £455,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £350,000 and £618,750. That is 52% above Reading. Homes that actually sold in Caversham went for a median £460,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Caversham rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Caversham is up 24% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Caversham cheaper than Reading?
No: asking prices in Caversham are typically higher than across Reading. The median asking price in Caversham is £455,000 against £300k across Reading: 52% above Reading. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Caversham?
The median asking price for a flat in Caversham is £252,500. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £507,250 across 36 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Caversham?

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (158 in Caversham), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Caversham since May 2026.
- Reading comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Reading, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
