In cash terms the typical DY6 8 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY6 8 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 (+31.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−9.4%). 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) | −4.0% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in DY6 8
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 53 sales completed in DY6 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 203 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 tenants pay around DY6 8
The local authority for DY6 8 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.
Reading the DY6 8 market
This is a thin market: 53 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within DY6, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
