In cash terms the typical B61 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 134%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the B61 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 2000 (+26.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−8.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £427,500 against £123,800 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +4.2% | +1.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.4% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 302 B61 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 573 sales a year before the financial crisis and 310 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.
What homes rent for around B61
The local authority for B61 is Bromsgrove, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £708 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,585, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromsgrove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£979 a month is £11,748 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.
The shape of the B61 market
Among the 76 measurable districts of its area, B61 ranks 20 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
Common questions on B61 (Dodford)
Is B61 (Dodford) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in B61 (Dodford)?
Are property prices falling in B61 (Dodford)?
Will B61 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% 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.
B61's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in B61 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 20 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 10% below the B61 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (302 in B61), the 20 homes listed here amount to about 3 weeks of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
17% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The B61 sales calendar
Across the 1,836 sales completed in B61 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (12.6% of the total) and January the quietest (6.2%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

What another bedroom costs in B
Real sold prices by size across the B area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £270,000 | £297,500 (+10%) | £360,000 (+21%) | £469,794 (+30%) | £650,000 (+38%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
