In cash terms the typical WV13 1 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 99%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2025. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WV13 1 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−16.3%). 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) | −14.9% | −16.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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 WV13 1
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WV13 1 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
What tenants pay around WV13 1
WV13 1 falls under Walsall, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Walsall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £165,000 median sold price, £908 a month is £10,896 a year, a gross yield of 6.6%: 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 shape of the WV13 1 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WV13 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the WV13 district median, WV13 1 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

WV13's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 30 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole WV13 district, not just WV13 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
7% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

The price of an extra bedroom in WV
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WV 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 | — | £265,000 | £365,000 (+38%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £820,000 (+49%) |
| Semi-detached | £191,500 | £215,000 (+12%) | £247,750 (+15%) | £315,000 (+27%) | £395,000 (+25%) |
| Terraced | £170,000 | £180,000 (+6%) | £200,000 (+11%) | £260,000 (+30%) | — |
| Flat | £100,000 | £125,000 (+25%) | £240,750 (+93%) | — | — |
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.
