| 1996 | £47,500 | £100,175 | 136 |
| 1995 | £44,000 | £95,649 | 109 |
In cash terms the typical DY3 2 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY3 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 2003 (+29.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.7% | −8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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 register shows 47 DY3 2 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 179 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.
What homes rent for around DY3 2
The local authority for DY3 2 is Dudley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Dudley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £210,000 median purchase price, a rent of £849 a month (£10,188 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.
How DY3 2 trades
This is a thin market: 47 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. 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 DY3 district median, DY3 2 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: DY prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DY area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £279,950 | £366,000 (+31%) | £580,000 (+58%) | £811,057 (+40%) |
