In cash terms the typical OX11 8 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £332,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 194%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX11 8 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 2002 (+33.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.7% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
OX11 8 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 205 sales a year before the financial crisis and 102 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around OX11 8
The local authority for OX11 8 is South Oxfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,381 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,025 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,292, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,381 a month is £16,572 a year, which against the £332,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market OX11 8 is
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX11 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within OX11, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the OX area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |
