Today's DY3 prices, from the sold record
Take the 129 registered 2026 sales in DY3 and the middle price, the median, is £240,000. The mean lands at £247,200, nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
DY3 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put DY3 at roughly £2,870 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

| 1996 | £54,500 | £114,938 | 410 |
| 1995 | £49,200 | £106,953 | 304 |
In cash terms the typical DY3 home went from £49,200 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 124%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY3 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 (+18.1% 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.
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, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £325,000 against £130,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £325,000 | 22 | 3,527 |
| Semi-detached | £243,500 | 59 | 5,617 |
| Terraced | £207,000 | 43 | 3,402 |
| Flats | £130,000 | 5 | 901 |
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 315 sales completed in DY3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 487 sales a year before the financial crisis and 350 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.
The rental side of DY3
The local authority for DY3 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.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £849 a month (£10,188 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 12% over five years in cash but down 12% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in DY: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DY area, 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.
| 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%) |

| 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.
