Summertown property market

Summertown is about 2 miles north-west of central Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Figures for Summertown cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

The median asking price across the 84 homes for sale in Summertown is £735,000 (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 £400,000 and £1,300,000. That is 63% above Oxford. Homes that actually sold in Summertown went for a median £789,150 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Broadly flat over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Summertown is broadly flat over the last 10 years and down 9% 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.

No: asking prices in Summertown are typically higher than across Oxford. The median asking price in Summertown is £735,000 against £450k across Oxford: 63% above Oxford. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
