In cash terms the typical OX7 home went from £78,000 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 195%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the OX7 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 (+22.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What OX7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.3% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £675,000 against £205,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 289 sales completed in OX7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 511 sales a year before the financial crisis and 317 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 OX7
For renting purposes OX7 sits in West Oxfordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,277 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £934 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,041 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £500,000 median sold price, £1,277 a month is £15,324 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in OX
Real sold prices by size across the OX area, straight 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.

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

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
