In cash terms the typical OX16 4 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £237,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 154%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX16 4 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). 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) | −2.1% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
OX16 4 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 124 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of OX16 4
For renting purposes OX16 4 sits in Cherwell. The ONS average private rent there is £1,289 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £963 a month here against £2,181 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cherwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,289 a month is £15,468 a year, which against the £237,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.5%. 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.
Reading the OX16 4 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX16 4 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. Within OX16, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Is OX16 4 (Banbury) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in OX16 4 (Banbury)?
Are property prices falling in OX16 4 (Banbury)?
Will OX16 4 prices rise from here?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |
| Semi-detached | £285,000 | £350,000 (+23%) | £413,375 (+18%) | £550,000 (+33%) | £848,750 (+54%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
