In cash terms the typical OX2 6 home went from £125,000 in 1995 to £772,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 184%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX2 6 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 1997 (+40.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OX2 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.9% | −12.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.5% | −7.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.2% | −3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 32 OX2 6 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 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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.
The rental side of OX2 6
The local authority for OX2 6 is Oxford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,958 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,347 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,857, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Oxford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,958 a month is £23,496 a year, which against the £772,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.
The shape of the OX2 6 market
This is a thin market: 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the OX2 district median, OX2 6 sits 43% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: OX prices by size
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
