In cash terms the typical DY9 home went from £56,400 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 181%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the DY9 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 2016 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−8.7%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £525,000 against £181,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 DY9
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 269 DY9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 534 sales a year before the financial crisis and 314 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
For renting purposes DY9 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.
Against the £345,000 median purchase price, a rent of £849 a month (£10,188 a year) works out at a 3.0% 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.

What another bedroom costs in DY
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.

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

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
