In cash terms the typical OX16 9 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £352,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 170%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX16 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 2003 (+20.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.4% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in OX16 9
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 75 OX16 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 223 sales a year recently, against 245 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around OX16 9
OX16 9 falls under Cherwell, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,289 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £963 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,181, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £352,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
