In cash terms the typical OX14 home went from £67,000 in 1995 to £371,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 155%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX14 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 2000 (+24.9% 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.
What OX14 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £530,000 against £222,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

Sales activity in OX14
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 500 OX14 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 983 sales a year before the financial crisis and 625 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.
Rents around OX14
OX14 falls under Vale of White Horse, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,333 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £972 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,201, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £371,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,333 a month (£15,996 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: OX prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
