In cash terms the typical ST19 home went from £61,200 in 1995 to £287,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 116%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the ST19 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 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.3%). 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) | −7.3% | −9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £390,000 against £123,800 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

How many homes change hands in ST19
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
ST19 recorded 155 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 193 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.
The shape of the ST19 market
ST19 sits 4 of 21 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
The rental side of ST19
For renting purposes ST19 sits in South Staffordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £945 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £657 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,517 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, South Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £287,500 median purchase price, a rent of £945 a month (£11,340 a year) works out at a 3.9% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in ST: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the ST area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £334,950 (+40%) | £500,000 (+49%) | £687,500 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £165,000 | £180,000 (+9%) | £228,000 (+27%) | £310,000 (+36%) | £402,500 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £132,000 | £126,000 (-5%) | £165,000 (+31%) | £235,000 (+42%) | £360,000 (+53%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £125,000 (+32%) | £185,000 (+48%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
