In cash terms the typical DY4 9 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 191%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY4 9 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 2005 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−36.9%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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.
DY4 9 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 118 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
The shape of the DY4 9 market
This is a thin market: 25 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 DY4 district median, DY4 9 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around DY4 9
The local authority for DY4 9 is Sandwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £672 a month here against £1,388 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £190,000 median sold price, £940 a month is £11,280 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in DY
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.
