In cash terms the typical WV5 9 home went from £63,700 in 1995 to £327,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 137%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WV5 9 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 2014 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−15.3%). 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 year (since 2025) | +7.4% | +4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.3% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 18 WV5 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 40 sales a year recently, against 46 a year before 2008. 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.
How WV5 9 trades
This is a thin market: 18 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.
Rents around WV5 9
WV5 9 falls under South Staffordshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £945 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £657 a month here against £1,517 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Staffordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£945 a month is £11,340 a year, which against the £327,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.
