In cash terms the typical B73 6 home went from £76,500 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 147%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the B73 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 (+24.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.8%). 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) | +5.1% | +2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +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.
How many homes change hands in B73 6
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
B73 6 recorded 65 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 232 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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.
What homes rent for around B73 6
For renting purposes B73 6 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.
Against the £410,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,088 a month (£13,056 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £306,000 | £425,000 (+39%) | £665,000 (+56%) | £950,000 (+43%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
