In cash terms the typical OX2 7 home went from £122,200 in 1995 to £637,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 140%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 37% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX2 7 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 (+46.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−29.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OX2 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.6% | −12.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.3% | −6.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.7% | −4.0% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in OX2 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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 OX2 7
For renting purposes OX2 7 sits in Oxford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,958 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £637,500 median sold price, £1,958 a month is £23,496 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the OX2 7 market
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX2 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within OX2, this sector trades 18% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
