In cash terms the typical DY1 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £218,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 123%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 4% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DY1 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 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £340,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.5% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 215 DY1 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 481 sales a year before the financial crisis and 242 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 DY1 trades
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.
The rental side of DY1
The local authority for DY1 is Dudley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£849 a month is £10,188 a year, which against the £218,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
DY1 (Dudley): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in DY1 (Dudley)?
Is DY1 (Dudley) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in DY1 (Dudley)?
Are DY1 prices heading up or down?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is up 25% over five years in cash and flat after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Bedroom by bedroom: DY prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DY 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £279,950 | £366,000 (+31%) | £580,000 (+58%) | £811,057 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £196,000 | £220,000 (+12%) | £260,000 (+18%) | £348,000 (+34%) | £467,500 (+34%) |
| Terraced | £171,000 | £193,000 (+13%) | £222,000 (+15%) | £270,000 (+22%) | £400,000 (+48%) |
| Flat | £110,000 | £147,350 (+34%) | £223,750 (+52%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
