Bloxwich market report WS3 1, Walsall

The WS3 1 (Bloxwich) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,124 registered sales in WS3 1 (Walsall) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: the typical home in WS3 1 (Walsall) sold for £195,000 in 2026, the median of 37 registered sales, up 16% on five years earlier. The mean was £199,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,530 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 4,124 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.

A postcode sector like WS3 1 is a single group of streets within WS3 (Walsall), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What buyers actually paid in WS3 1

The 2026 median for WS3 1 is £195,000, taken from 37 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £199,300, practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

What a square metre costs in WS3 1

The last five years of sales put WS3 1 at roughly £2,530 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving WS3 1 32% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical WS3 1 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 119%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+40.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−25.4%). 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

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.

How many homes change hands in WS3 1

WS3 1 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 173 sales a year over the last five years against 148 before the financial crisis. 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 rental side of WS3 1

The local authority for WS3 1 is Walsall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £908 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £642 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,305, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

£908 a month is £10,896 a year, which against the £195,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

How WS3 1 trades

Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS3 1 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.

Common questions on WS3 1 (Bloxwich)

Are WS3 1 prices heading up or down?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 8% 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.
