Banbury property market: common questions

Where is Banbury?

Banbury sits on the edge of Oxfordshire.

What is the average house price in Banbury?

The median asking price across the 434 homes for sale in Banbury is £275,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £185,000 and £357,375. That is 35% below Oxfordshire. Homes that actually sold in Banbury went for a median £285,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Banbury rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Banbury is up 43% over the last 10 years and up 4% over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Banbury cheaper than Oxfordshire?

Yes: asking prices in Banbury are typically lower than across Oxfordshire. The median asking price in Banbury is £275,000 against £425k across Oxfordshire: 35% below Oxfordshire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Banbury?

The median asking price for a flat in Banbury is £160,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £260,000 across 108 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Banbury?

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (434 in Banbury), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Banbury since April 2026.
  • Oxfordshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Oxfordshire, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
