Headington property market: common questions
Where is Headington?
Headington is in central Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Figures for Headington cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Headington?
The median asking price across the 101 homes for sale in Headington is £465,000 (as of 4 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 £335,000 and £600,000. That is 3% above Oxford. Homes that actually sold in Headington went for a median £445,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Headington rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Headington is up 20% over the last 10 years and down 4% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Headington cheaper than Oxford?
No: asking prices in Headington are typically higher than across Oxford. The median asking price in Headington is £465,000 against £450k across Oxford: 3% above Oxford. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to Oxford's; the gap opens further up the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Headington?
The median asking price for a flat in Headington is £300,000. 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 semi-detached houses, at a median £595,000 across 33 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Headington?

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (101 in Headington), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Headington cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- 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 Headington since May 2026.
- Oxford comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Oxford, 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
