In cash terms the typical B67 6 home went from £34,800 in 1995 to £209,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 177%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2025; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2025 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B67 6 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 2003 (+37.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B67 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in B67 6
Sales per year, counted
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 register shows 20 B67 6 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 167 sales a year before the financial crisis and 64 a year over the last five. 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.
The shape of the B67 6 market
This is a thin market: 20 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.
The rental side of B67 6
The local authority for B67 6 is Sandwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £672 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,388, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£940 a month is £11,280 a year, which against the £209,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the B area, 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%) |
| Flat | £130,000 | £179,500 (+38%) | £299,000 (+67%) | £500,000 (+67%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
