In cash terms the typical OX4 2 home went from £68,500 in 1995 to £388,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 161%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX4 2 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 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.0%). 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) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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, 44 sales completed in OX4 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 204 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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 OX4 2 is
This is a thin market: 44 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.
What tenants pay around OX4 2
For renting purposes OX4 2 sits in Oxford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,958 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,347 a month here against £2,857 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Oxford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £388,500 median sold price, £1,958 a month is £23,496 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in OX
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight 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.
