In cash terms the typical DY5 4 home went from £40,200 in 1995 to £217,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 149%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the DY5 4 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 (+40.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−14.2%). 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) | +8.7% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.7% | −0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.4% | +2.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in DY5 4
Sales per year, counted
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 28 sales completed in DY5 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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 shape of the DY5 4 market
Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DY5 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around DY5 4
For renting purposes DY5 4 sits in Dudley. The ONS average private rent there is £849 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £217,500 median sold price, £849 a month is £10,188 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
