The WS4 median stands at £225,000 for 2026, built from 85 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £238,500, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
WS4 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put WS4 at roughly £2,590 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.

In cash terms the typical WS4 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 107%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WS4 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 2003 (+27.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−11.1%). 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, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £357,500 against £108,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

Annualised returns

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 WS4
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
WS4 recorded 154 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 294 sales a year before the financial crisis and 176 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.
The rental side of WS4
WS4 falls under Walsall, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £908 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £642 a month here against £1,305 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Walsall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £225,000 median purchase price, a rent of £908 a month (£10,896 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.
The shape of the WS4 market
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.

Is WS4 (Rushall) a good place to buy a house?

Moving up a bedroom in WS: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the WS area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |
