In cash terms the typical WV3 0 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £149,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 128%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WV3 0 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 (+101.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−20.2%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in WV3 0
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in WV3 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 144 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 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.
The rental side of WV3 0
The local authority for WV3 0 is Wolverhampton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £934 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £666 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,427, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wolverhampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £149,000 median purchase price, a rent of £934 a month (£11,208 a year) works out at a 7.5% 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.
How WV3 0 trades
This is a thin market: 22 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 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 WV3 district median, WV3 0 sits 40% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in WV: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the WV area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £265,000 | £365,000 (+38%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £820,000 (+49%) |
