In cash terms the typical OX7 3 home went from £91,700 in 1995 to £592,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 197%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the OX7 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 1999 (+36.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−15.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.8% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.4% |
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.
Sales activity in OX7 3
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 28 sales completed in OX7 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
How OX7 3 trades
This is a thin market: 28 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within OX7, this sector trades 19% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around OX7 3
OX7 3 falls under West Oxfordshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,277 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £934 a month here against £2,041 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,277 a month is £15,324 a year, which against the £592,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.6%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in OX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the OX area. 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.
