In cash terms the typical OL9 9 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £231,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 166%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OL9 9 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2019 (+28.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.2% | −2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.9% | +2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in OL9 9
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 48 sales completed in OL9 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 167 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How OL9 9 trades
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OL9 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the OL9 district median, OL9 9 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around OL9 9
For renting purposes OL9 9 sits in Oldham. The ONS average private rent there is £917 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £684 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,416, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Oldham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £231,500 median purchase price, a rent of £917 a month (£11,004 a year) works out at a 4.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What another bedroom costs in OL
Real sold prices by size across the OL area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £257,697 | £349,995 (+36%) | £495,000 (+41%) | £620,000 (+25%) |
