In cash terms the typical B9 5 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £170,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 137%, 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 18% 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 B9 5 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What B9 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.0% | −18.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
Sales activity in B9 5
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
B9 5 recorded 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 282 sales a year before the financial crisis and 68 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the B9 5 market
This is a thin market: 17 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.
What tenants pay around B9 5
For renting purposes B9 5 sits in Birmingham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,088 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £821 a month here against £1,563 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Birmingham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £170,000 median sold price, £1,088 a month is £13,056 a year, a gross yield of 7.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in B
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.
