B3 is the postcode district in Birmingham. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

What a home in B3 sells for

In cash terms the typical B3 home went from £51,800 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 77%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not just more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 33% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 1999 (+53.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
B3 recorded 122 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 99 sales a year recently, against 115 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around B3
B3 falls under Birmingham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,088 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £821 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,563, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £195,000 median sold price, £1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, a gross yield of 6.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Will B3 prices rise from here?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 11% over five years in cash but down 28% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
Ladders and snakes: five-year risers and fallers
B3 ranks 71 of 76 in the B area on five-year growth. The gap between the top and bottom of this chart is the difference between buying well and buying badly in the same city.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
