In cash terms the typical RG9 home went from £130,000 in 1995 to £695,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RG9 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 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−10.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £1,017,100 against £362,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

How many homes change hands in RG9
The year-by-year sales count
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 last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 264 RG9 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 513 sales a year before the financial crisis and 307 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.
Rents around RG9
The local authority for RG9 is South Oxfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,381 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,025 a month here against £2,292 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Oxfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £695,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,381 a month (£16,572 a year) works out at a 2.4% 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 another bedroom costs in RG
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RG area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £444,995 | £595,000 (+34%) | £830,000 (+39%) | £1,200,000 (+45%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
