In cash terms the typical DY9 7 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £295,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 202%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the DY9 7 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 (+39.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−9.3%). 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) | +33.1% | +30.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +9.9% | +4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.0% | +3.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.5% | +1.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in DY9 7
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 17 sales completed in DY9 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 84 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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.
Reading the DY9 7 market
This is a thin market: 17 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 DY9 district median, DY9 7 sits 14% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around DY9 7
For renting purposes DY9 7 sits in Dudley. The ONS average private rent there is £849 a month (May 2026). 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.
£849 a month is £10,188 a year, which against the £295,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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
Real sold prices by size across the DY area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
