Gornal market report DY3 1, Dudley

The DY3 1 (Gornal) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 3,667 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in DY3 1 (Dudley) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the 2026 median for DY3 1 (Dudley) is £220,000, from 45 registered sales, up 26% on five years earlier; the mean is £222,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,590 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,667 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

DY3 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside DY3 (Dudley). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What buyers actually paid in DY3 1

The 2026 median for DY3 1 is £220,000, taken from 45 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £222,900, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

House prices per square metre in DY3 1

A square metre of DY3 1 home has cost about £2,590 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, DY3 1 runs 23% below it.

In cash terms the typical DY3 1 home went from £44,700 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+38.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.9%). 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

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.

The turnover behind the prices

DY3 1 recorded 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 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.

Reading the DY3 1 market

This is a thin market: 45 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. Against the DY3 district median, DY3 1 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What homes rent for around DY3 1

DY3 1 falls under Dudley, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £849 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £605 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,239, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £849 a month (£10,188 a year) works out at a 4.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Where do DY3 1 prices go next?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 26% over five years in cash and flat after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
