In cash terms the typical ST19 5 home went from £55,100 in 1995 to £277,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 132%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the ST19 5 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 (+30.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What ST19 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.3% | −11.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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 ST19 5
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 40 sales completed in ST19 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 120 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.
How ST19 5 trades
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes ST19 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
The rental side of ST19 5
For renting purposes ST19 5 sits in South Staffordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £945 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £657 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,517, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, South Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £277,500 median purchase price, a rent of £945 a month (£11,340 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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 ST
Real sold prices by size across the ST area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
