Prices in Abingdon have been broadly stable, a year-on-year change of -1.3%. Within Oxfordshire, Abingdon ranks 5th by price out of 8 principal towns, and 1st by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Abingdon median prices moved from £400,000 in Q4 2024 to £370,000 in Q1 2026, a change of -7.5% over 5 quarters. Abingdon has now recorded 2 consecutive quarters of price falls. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Vale of White Horse, the local planning authority covering Abingdon, approved 15 residential planning applications and refused 6 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 58 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 71%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 2,337 homes, an estimated £904.8m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.
