How Jacobs Pool, Okehampton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Jacobs Pool, Okehampton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £31,600 | £70,167 |
| 2000s | 2 | £51,750 | £94,273 |
| 2020s | 1 | £148,500 | £151,728 |
The highest yearly median on record for Jacobs Pool, Okehampton is £148,500 in 2025; the lowest is £29,500 in 1999. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £31,600 to £148,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £67,002, so the real change over the whole record is +126.5% — about +2.96% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +116.8% in cash against +14.8% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Jacobs Pool, Okehampton is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 72 | 80.0% | £70,000 | £23,150 – £150,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Jacobs Pool, Okehampton
74 of the sales on record are leasehold and 16 freehold — 82.2% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £73,500 and the median freehold sale £117,500 — a gap of +59.9%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 74 | 82.2% | £73,500 |
| Freehold | 16 | 17.8% | £117,500 |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Mid Devon at £875 a month as of Jun 2026 — £639 for a one-bedroom home and £992 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £75,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 14.00% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for EX20 in Jun 2026 by Devon And Cornwall. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

Jacobs Pool, Okehampton sits in Mid Devon, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Mid Devon at 8.4 times median local earnings of £35,391 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Jacobs Pool, Okehampton?

When were Jacobs Pool, Okehampton house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
