In cash terms the typical DY9 9 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £221,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 106%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2010, and today's median remains roughly 40% under it: a 2010 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY9 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 2001 (+62.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−24.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −19.6% | −21.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.9% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.3% | −3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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
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.
DY9 9 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 112 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around DY9 9
The local authority for DY9 9 is Bromsgrove, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £708 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,585, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bromsgrove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £221,200 median sold price, £979 a month is £11,748 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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 kind of market DY9 9 is
This is a thin market: 24 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 9 sits 36% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Where do DY9 9 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 18% over five years in cash but down 35% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £279,950 | £366,000 (+31%) | £580,000 (+58%) | £811,057 (+40%) |

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.
