In cash terms the typical WS6 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 132%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WS6 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 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £395,000 against £117,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Sales activity in WS6
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
WS6 recorded 184 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 282 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.
What homes rent for around WS6
The local authority for WS6 is South Staffordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £945 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £657 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,517, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £252,500 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.

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. 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 | — | £275,000 | £370,000 (+35%) | £572,400 (+55%) | £821,400 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £196,000 | £215,000 (+10%) | £255,000 (+19%) | £340,000 (+33%) | £400,000 (+18%) |
| Terraced | £175,000 | £183,250 (+5%) | £212,500 (+16%) | £291,500 (+37%) | — |
| Flat | £115,000 | £151,000 (+31%) | £247,500 (+64%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
