Property Market Overview — Oxford's market has seen substantial activity over the past five years, with over 10,800 sales recorded. The median price of £450,000 sits well below the mean of £758,813, reflecting a wide spread in property values across the city. Recent prices have contracted sharply, with the last 12 months averaging £366,127—a marked shift from the peak of £847,282 in 2023.
Property Types and Price Differences — Detached homes command the highest prices at around £912,888, roughly 2.8 times the cost of flats at £329,687. Semi-detached and terraced properties occupy the middle ground at £579,318 and £534,066 respectively, with semi-detached homes accounting for the largest share of sales at nearly 3,165 transactions. Flats, though fewer in number, remain the most affordable option by a significant margin.
Price Trends Over Time — The five-year trend reveals a dramatic 55% decline from 2021 onwards. Prices peaked in 2023 at £847,282 but have fallen steeply since, dropping to £596,369 in 2025 and further to £366,127 in the most recent 12-month period. This represents a fundamental shift in the market rather than typical seasonal variation.
What Stands Out — The gap between mean and median prices is unusually wide, indicating some high-value sales pulling the average upward whilst most transactions cluster at lower levels. Recent price compression has been severe, with the spread now ranging from £77,500 to £625,000, suggesting either significant market correction or a changing composition of sales activity.
