Market read

The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Alkerton, Balscote, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 41 m² | 45 m² | 54 m² | 18 |
| 3 | 48 m² | 57 m² | 77 m² | 158 |
| 4 | 60 m² | 79 m² | 102 m² | 264 |
| 5 | 84 m² | 103 m² | 140 m² | 383 |
| 6 | 100 m² | 125 m² | 176 m² | 455 |
| 7 | 115 m² | 148 m² | 195 m² | 466 |
| 8 | 137 m² | 180 m² | 248 m² | 280 |
| 9 | 174 m² | 218 m² | 328 m² | 155 |
| 10 | 165 m² | 231 m² | 376 m² | 63 |
| 11 | 202 m² | 294 m² | 479 m² | 42 |
| 12 | 351 m² | 382 m² | 471 m² | 16 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 11 habitable rooms, ranging from 202 to 479 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
