“ Prices have edged down over the last year but this reflects a

greater flexibility on the part of vendors, who have become

more accepting of the need to price competitively following the

introduction of higher rates of stamp duty. Demand for family

homes in the city centre remains strong – driven by a desire to

be close to some of the city’s excellent schools. As asking prices

better align with buyer expectations, we expect to see more

sales being agreed. More recently, we have seen an uptick in new

listings, which should help underpin activity in 2018.”

Market update

Average prime prices in Oxford

fell by 1.7% in the year to March

Brexit. Indeed, despite the fall,

demand remained strong with

buyers registering in the year
