OX28 prices by floor area

| 1996 | £67,500 | £142,354 | 582 |
| 1995 | £64,900 | £141,083 | 436 |
In cash terms the typical OX28 home went from £64,900 in 1995 to £335,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 138%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX28 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 (+21.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £492,500 against £197,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OX28
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
OX28 recorded 334 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 766 sales a year before the financial crisis and 378 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.
What kind of market OX28 is
Among the 26 measurable districts of its area, OX28 ranks 24 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What homes rent for around OX28
OX28 falls under West Oxfordshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,277 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £934 a month here against £2,041 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,277 a month is £15,324 a year, which against the £335,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in OX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
