In cash terms the typical OX2 9 home went from £103,800 in 1995 to £497,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX2 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 1997 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.0% | +4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 48 OX2 9 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 162 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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 shape of the OX2 9 market
This is a thin market: 48 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 9 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of OX2 9
For renting purposes OX2 9 sits in Vale of White Horse. The ONS average private rent there is £1,333 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,201 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £497,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,333 a month (£15,996 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

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.
