In cash terms the typical WV13 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 119%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WV13 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 2004 (+49.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). 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) | −5.0% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £265,000 against £90,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

How many homes change hands in WV13
The year-by-year sales count
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
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 122 sales completed in WV13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 397 sales a year before the financial crisis and 170 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 WV13
WV13 falls under Walsall, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £908 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £642 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,305 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Walsall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£908 a month is £10,896 a year, which against the £190,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the WV13 market
This is a thin market: 122 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. Among the 16 measurable districts of its area, WV13 ranks 15 by median price: towards the affordable end.

Bedroom by bedroom: WV prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the WV 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.
