It is ridiculous at the moment, but believe it or not, I'm looking at those prices and thinking "not too bad". In my part of Oxford, the cheapest 1 bedroom flat is the equivalent of $250,000. Just the cheapest flat in any part of Oxford is almost $200,000 :S
So I'd believe every word you told me! We're incredibly lucky for various reasons (not all of them good), but if you don't have a decent deposit, you just can't get on the market here at all.
