Property Price & Volume Trends
The average property price of £469,000 places OX25 among the most expensive nationally. However, growth has been sluggish: the annualised 10-year increase of 1.8% sits well below the national average, reflecting a subdued local market. Transaction activity has softened noticeably, with 184 sales in the latest year against a 10-year average of 241 per annum.
Rent & Yield Trends
Average monthly rents of £1,416 are above the national norm for the broader OX area. Rental growth of 3.7% annually over the past decade has kept pace with national trends.

Income & Affordability Trends
Household incomes in OX25 are notably high, among the strongest nationally, with an average of £50,624. The price-to-income ratio of 9.1x has remained stable since 2016, suggesting purchase affordability has held steady despite high property values. Rental affordability has tightened slightly: the rent-to-income ratio has risen from 29.4% in 2016 to 30.7% today, reflecting faster rent growth than wage growth.
