In cash terms the typical OX5 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 161%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX5 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 (+20.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £508,000 against £217,500 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.7% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in OX5
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
OX5 recorded 219 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 438 sales a year before the financial crisis and 256 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.
What tenants pay around OX5
For renting purposes OX5 sits in Cherwell. The ONS average private rent there is £1,289 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £375,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,289 a month (£15,468 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What happens to OX5 prices now?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 22% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in OX: the cost
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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
