What DY4 homes really sell for

Price per square metre in DY4

In cash terms the typical DY4 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 115%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the DY4 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 2004 (+26.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−11.0%). 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, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £302,000 against £103,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

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.
How many homes change hands in DY4
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 287 sales completed in DY4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 785 sales a year before the financial crisis and 342 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.
Rents around DY4
The local authority for DY4 is Sandwell, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £940 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £672 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,388 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Sandwell
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£940 a month is £11,280 a year, which against the £215,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in DY
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.
