The standing OX33 (Wheatley) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

| 1996 | £103,000 | £217,222 | 131 |
| 1995 | £81,200 | £176,516 | 189 |
In cash terms the typical OX33 home went from £81,200 in 1995 to £483,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 174%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the OX33 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 1996 (+26.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−9.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £654,200 against £223,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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 last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
OX33 recorded 56 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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 OX33 market
Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX33 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Among the 26 measurable districts of its area, OX33 ranks 5 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What tenants pay around OX33
The local authority for OX33 is South Oxfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,381 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,025 a month here against £2,292 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,381 a month is £16,572 a year, which against the £483,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.
Asked and answered: OX33 (Wheatley)
Are property prices falling in OX33 (Wheatley)?
Is OX33 (Wheatley) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in OX33 (Wheatley)?
Will OX33 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
OX33's current homes for sale

17% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in OX
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%) |
| Terraced | £275,000 | £322,500 (+17%) | £385,000 (+19%) | £506,000 (+31%) | £848,725 (+68%) |
| Flat | £200,000 | £255,000 (+27%) | £475,000 (+86%) | £625,500 (+32%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
