Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on OX16: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since February 2026 make OX16 a steady market, enough to learn from, though the year-on-year comparison is too thin to quote, so lean on the recent sold homes.
When selling here, £170,000 to £437,750 is what most OX16 buyers have actually paid, so narrow down to sold homes that match yours before you pick a price; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, OX16 is close to the UK average, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Do your own homework first: planning history nearby (2,152 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,583 a year), then hand the title to your conveyancer.
Our free OX16 OfferCheck puts the rest of the picture alongside these prices, and the Report explains which parts deserve a second look.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled OX16 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 9, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
OX16 3WG, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so OX16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in OX16: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in OX16, band by band
Cherwell's council tax for 2026-27 set against the OX16 median sold price of £291,250 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the OX16 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
