Property & development
Home values
How the City has assessed property in Oxford, 2022–2026.
Of Oxford's $77M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 4% ($3M) is new construction: new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →
Typical home is the median change across the 632 homes assessed in both 2022 and 2026 — half rose by more, half by less. Growth rank places Oxford among the 133 Richmond neighborhoods with at least 50 such homes (1 = fastest growth).
