In cash terms the typical OX44 home went from £85,000 in 1995 to £435,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 135%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX44 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 (+44.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.5%). 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) | −2.5% | −4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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, 46% of the typed total. In 2022, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £572,500 against £305,000 for a flat, 1.9 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 73 OX44 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 132 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market OX44 is
Only 73 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes OX44 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around OX44
For renting purposes OX44 sits in South Oxfordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,381 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,025 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,292, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,381 a month (£16,572 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in OX
What homes of each size actually sold for across the OX area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |

| 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.
