| 1996 | £75,000 | £158,172 | 90 |
| 1995 | £73,800 | £160,430 | 76 |
In cash terms the typical SN7 8 home went from £73,800 in 1995 to £366,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 128%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN7 8 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 (+61.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−23.2%). 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) | −19.4% | −21.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.2% | −6.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −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.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 26 sales completed in SN7 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 111 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
Rents around SN7 8
The local authority for SN7 8 is Vale of White Horse, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,333 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £972 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,201 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of White Horse
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £366,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,333 a month (£15,996 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.
Reading the SN7 8 market
This is a thin market: 26 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.

36% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

Moving up a bedroom in SN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SN area, straight 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
