Thinking of buying or selling in Wolverhampton? Getting a feel for what’s happening in the local property market can help you make a smart move. Here’s a look at the latest trends, average prices, and what they mean for buyers and sellers across the city.
Right in the heart of the West Midlands, Wolverhampton is a city that blends history with modern energy. Once known for its industrial roots, it’s now thriving as a lively, well connected place to live and work. With its excellent transport links to Birmingham and beyond, a mix of period homes and new developments, and relatively affordable prices compared to neighbouring cities, it continues to attract families, professionals, and investors alike.
In recent years, Wolverhampton’s housing market has held steady, following the same upward trend seen across much of the West Midlands.
According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the average house price in Wolverhampton stood at around £215,000 in July 2025 (provisional). This represents an increase of approximately 3.1% compared to July 2024, broadly in line with the overall rise seen across the West Midlands region
Private rents in Wolverhampton have also continued to rise, reaching an average of £875 per month in August 2025, up from £828 in August 2024, an annual increase of 5.7%.
This increase was slightly higher than the average across the West Midlands (4.8%), reflecting strong demand for rental properties in the city.
For first-time buyers, the average price paid for a home in July 2025 was around £188,000, up 2.9% from the previous year’s average of £183,000.
It shows that while Wolverhampton is still relatively affordable compared to nearby cities, prices are creeping up, a plus for sellers and something for buyers to keep an eye on.
Among mortgage purchasers, the average property price in July 2025 was approximately £217,000, a rise of 3.2% year on year.
The steady rise points to a confident but competitive market for anyone buying with a mortgage.
