In cash terms the typical OX5 1 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £358,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 166%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX5 1 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 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OX5 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.5% |
| 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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 60 OX5 1 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 240 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 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 homes rent for around OX5 1
The local authority for OX5 1 is Cherwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,289 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £963 a month here against £2,181 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cherwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,289 a month is £15,468 a year, which against the £358,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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.

OX5's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 18 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole OX5 district, not just OX5 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
15% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: OX prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight 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.
