How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downs Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector OX11 8 | £375,000 | £315,000 +19% since | £276,500 +36% since | £205,000 +83% since | £185,000 +103% since |

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in OX11 8, over the last five years (653 sales):
- What sells: 41% semi-detached, 25% terraced, 19% flats, 10% detached, 4% other.
- 21% sold leasehold.
- 90 sales in the last twelve months, against 162 in the same twelve months five years ago.
