Update: We’ve added more information about where to get each house in Oblivion Remastered, as well as a table of where to by upgrades for each one.
At the start of Oblivion , you’re a nobody with no past and no future, only to have great destiny thrust upon you by a seemingly chance encounter with the Emperor himself.
But as you begin to make a name for yourself in Cyrodiil and carve out a place in the world of Tamriel, it’s only natural to want to put down roots and buy a house of your own.
Whether that’s a bolthole in the heart of the Imperial City or a mansion in one of the provincial towns on the outskirts of the region, there are plenty of different types of properties you can purchase in Oblivion.
Here’s where to find every house in Oblivion , as well as how much you have to pay or what quest you have to complete to unlock it.
Oblivion House Locations
There are 12 player-owned houses to collect in Oblivion Remastered. Of that total, 8 are for sale inside major towns and cities across the map. The remaining 4 are technically “free” and can be acquired by completing their associated quests that appear as you get close to them on the map.
Below we’ve embedded an interactive map showing every location you can buy a house in Oblivion:
If you tap on each house’s icon, it will show you how much the house costs and what you need to do to unlock it, but here’s a full list of every property:

How to upgrade your houses in Oblivion Remastered
Many of the houses you buy and collect in Oblivion Remastered come unfurnished, leaving them feeling hollow and bare.
To add a little more character and make your player-owned house feel like home, you can purchase upgrades from local merchants based nearby.
Be warned though, these furnishing upgrades are expensive . After you’ve saved up enough money to splurge on one of the fancier houses in Oblivion, to fully kit it out you’ll need to spend almost as much again, or even more, on furniture and fittings.
This makes the Benirus Manor in Anvil even more appealing. Along with its low purchase price, it can also be furnished just by completing its associated quest.
Here’s where you can buy upgrades for each of the different houses in Oblivion Remastered:
| House Name | Merchant Name | Merchant Location |
|---|---|---|
| Imperial City Shack | Sergius Verus | Three Brothers Trade, Imperial City Market District |
| Bravil House | Nilawen | Fair Deal, Bravil |
| Benirus Manor | N/A | N/A |
| Leyawiin House | Gunalas | Best Goods and Guarantees, Leyawiin |
| Bruma House | Suurootan | Novaroma, Bruma |
| Cheydinhal House | Borba gra-Uzgash | Borba’s Goods, Cheydinhal |
| Arborwatch | Seed-Neeus | Northern Goods and Trade, Chorrol |
| Rosethorn Hall | Gunder | Colovian Traders, Skingrad |
| Dunbarrow Cove | Dahlia Rackham | The Sea Tub Clarabella, Anvil Docks |
| Battlehorn Castle | Nilphas Omellian | The Merchants Inn, Imperial City Market District |
| Frostcrag Spire | Aurelinwae | Mystic Emporium, Imperial City Market District |
| Deepscorn Hollow | Rowley Eardwulf | Wawnet Inn in Weye, on the west side of the great bridge leading into the Imperial City |
