In cash terms the typical WS11 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 125%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WS11 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 (+21.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−5.3%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £339,000 against £92,000 for a flat, 3.7 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.6% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 509 sales completed in WS11. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 801 sales a year before the financial crisis and 540 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.
The rental side of WS11
The local authority for WS11 is Cannock Chase, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £848 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £576 a month here against £1,319 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cannock Chase
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £220,000 median sold price, £848 a month is £10,176 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

Is WS11 (Norton Canes) a good place to buy a house?
Will WS11 prices rise from here?

WS11 registered 509 sales in the last twelve months; the 33 homes listed now would take about 3 weeks to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.

WS11: the homes on offer and the homes that go
Terraced homes are 15% of what sold in WS11 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 27% | 32% |
| Semi-detached | 58% | 47% |
| Terraced | 0% | 15% |
| Flats | 15% | 7% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
When homes in WS11 change hands
Across the 3,312 sales completed in WS11 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.7% of the total) and January the quietest (6.1%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 203 | 6.1% |
| February | 273 | 8.2% |
| March | 354 | 10.7% |
| April | 224 | 6.8% |

Bedroom by bedroom: WS prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WS 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £250,000 | £280,000 (+12%) | £320,000 (+14%) | £405,000 (+27%) | £560,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £195,000 | £205,000 (+5%) | £227,000 (+11%) | £275,000 (+21%) | £335,000 (+22%) |
| Terraced | £170,000 | £182,500 (+7%) | £190,000 (+4%) | £245,000 (+29%) | £310,000 (+27%) |
| Flat | £102,000 | £130,000 (+27%) | £227,250 (+75%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
