In plain English

What the Birmingham numbers mean

The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £662,500 against £170,000 for flats: about 3.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £110,000 and £676,800, so the median says little about any one home.
54% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.

This is an active district: about 55 recorded sales a month.

Based on 662 recorded sales between 1 August 2025 and 31 July 2026, pooled across B1, B15, B13. HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, to 30 September 2026; page data refreshed 28 October 2026.

Questions, answered

Birmingham house prices: your questions

What is the average house price in Birmingham?

The typical (median) sold price in Birmingham (the B1, B15 and B13 postcode districts) is £246,000, from 662 recorded sales between 1 August 2025 and 31 July 2026. Most sales fell between £110,000 and £676,800. That is close to the West Midlands average (£250,731) but below the UK average (£273,037) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.

Are house prices going up in Birmingham?

Broadly flat. The local median moved +0.4% over the last twelve months, comparing 662 sales with 1,099 in the twelve months before. The West Midlands index moved +1.2% over the same period. A past trend is not a forecast.

What can I buy for £250,000 in Birmingham?

50.9% of the 662 homes sold in Birmingham between August 2025 to July 2026 went for less than £250,000, which was 2.4% of detached homes, 10.7% of semi-detached homes, 45% of terraced homes and 79.1% of flats. The districts with a median under £250,000 were B1. These are sold prices, not asking prices, so use them to judge what is realistic.

Do new-build homes cost more in Birmingham?

Comparing like with like, the median new-build price against existing homes of the same type was: flats +72.9% (£276,600 against £160,000). New-builds made up 6.3% of sales. A new-build and a resale of the same type can differ in size and location, so read this as a guide.

Which part of Birmingham is cheapest?

Of the districts we pool, B1 had the lowest median at £209,998 (154 sales) and B13 the highest at £269,000 (354 sales). These districts stand in for Birmingham; they are not every part of it.
