WS6 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WS6 (Walsall). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical WS6 7 home went from £50,200 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 129%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WS6 7 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 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.4%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.3% | −4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 39 sales completed in WS6 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 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 WS6 7
The local authority for WS6 7 is South Staffordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £945 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £657 a month here against £1,517 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £250,000 median sold price, £945 a month is £11,340 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
Reading the WS6 7 market
This is a thin market: 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

The price of an extra bedroom in WS
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WS area. 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%) |
