In cash terms the typical WS9 8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £306,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 135%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the WS9 8 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 2002 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +16.1% | +13.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.0% | +1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WS9 8 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 211 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 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 tenants pay around WS9 8
WS9 8 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 £306,500 median purchase price, a rent of £908 a month (£10,896 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.
What kind of market WS9 8 is
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WS9 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Bedroom by bedroom: WS prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WS area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
