In cash terms the typical B92 9 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £304,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 145%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the B92 9 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 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.3%). 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) | +4.8% | +2.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 B92 9
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
B92 9 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 171 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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.
Rents around B92 9
For renting purposes B92 9 sits in Solihull. The ONS average private rent there is £1,260 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £844 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,851 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Solihull
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £304,000 median sold price, £1,260 a month is £15,120 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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 kind of market B92 9 is
This is a thin market: 49 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.

Moving up a bedroom in B: the cost
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.
