In cash terms the typical OX9 2 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 165%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OX9 2 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 2012 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−27.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.1% | −7.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in OX9 2
Sales per year, counted
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 21 OX9 2 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 74 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market OX9 2 is
This is a thin market: 21 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.
What tenants pay around OX9 2
The local authority for OX9 2 is South Oxfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,381 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £460,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,381 a month (£16,572 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

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. 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
