In cash terms the typical B67 7 home went from £34,200 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B67 7 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 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B67 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.5% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
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.
The register shows 21 B67 7 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 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 44 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.
How B67 7 trades
Only 21 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes B67 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within B67, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around B67 7
The local authority for B67 7 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.
Against the £180,000 median purchase price, a rent of £940 a month (£11,280 a year) works out at a 6.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Bedroom by bedroom: B prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
