In cash terms the typical WV9 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 121%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WV9 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 2001 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
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, 47% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £302,500 against £120,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.1% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +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 WV9
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
WV9 recorded 77 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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.
Reading the WV9 market
Only 77 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WV9 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.
What tenants pay around WV9
WV9 falls under Wolverhampton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £934 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £666 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,427 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wolverhampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £235,000 median purchase price, a rent of £934 a month (£11,208 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

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.
