DY2 0 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical DY2 0 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £223,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the DY2 0 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 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.3%). 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) | +14.6% | +11.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.5% | +2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.4% | +2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in DY2 0
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in DY2 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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.
Reading the DY2 0 market
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DY2 0 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.
What tenants pay around DY2 0
DY2 0 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 £223,500 median sold price, £849 a month is £10,188 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in DY: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the DY area, straight 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 | — | £279,950 | £366,000 (+31%) | £580,000 (+58%) | £811,057 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
