In cash terms the typical DY1 2 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 135%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the DY1 2 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 (+31.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−23.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.8% | +4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.1% | +1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 47 sales completed in DY1 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 223 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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.
Reading the DY1 2 market
Only 47 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DY1 2 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. Against the DY1 district median, DY1 2 sits 8% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around DY1 2
DY1 2 falls under Dudley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £849 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £605 a month here against £1,239 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dudley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £849 a month is £10,188 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

Real sold prices by size across the DY 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.
