In cash terms the typical OX4 3 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £425,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 201%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX4 3 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 2000 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.3%). 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) | −2.0% | −4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OX4 3
How many homes change hands
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 register shows 53 OX4 3 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 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 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 tenants pay around OX4 3
OX4 3 falls under Oxford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,958 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,347 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,857, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Oxford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £425,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,958 a month (£23,496 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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.
Reading the OX4 3 market
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX4 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £512,000 (+31%) | £750,000 (+46%) | £1,175,000 (+57%) |

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.
