B32 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside B32 (Birmingham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

House prices per square metre in B32 1

In cash terms the typical B32 1 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £262,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 141%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B32 1 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 2002 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.4% | +3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 41 sales completed in B32 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 166 sales a year before the financial crisis and 71 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of B32 1
For renting purposes B32 1 sits in Birmingham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,088 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £821 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,563 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, which against the £262,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market B32 1 is
This is a thin market: 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Common questions on B32 1 (Woodgate)
Is B32 1 (Woodgate) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in B32 1 (Woodgate)?
Are property prices falling in B32 1 (Woodgate)?
Are B32 1 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 22% over five years in cash but down 4% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

Bedroom by bedroom: B prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £240,000 (+14%) | £300,000 (+25%) | £418,250 (+39%) | £535,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £187,500 | £200,000 (+7%) | £235,000 (+18%) | £315,000 (+34%) | £397,000 (+26%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
