In cash terms the typical OX29 8 home went from £87,500 in 1995 to £522,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 175%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX29 8 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 1998 (+33.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−10.3%). 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) | +25.9% | +23.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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 OX29 8
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 46 sales completed in OX29 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 111 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 shape of the OX29 8 market
Only 46 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX29 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the OX29 district median, OX29 8 sits 19% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of OX29 8
OX29 8 falls under West Oxfordshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,277 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £934 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,041, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £522,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. 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.
