Bilston property market: common questions

Where is Bilston?

Bilston is in West Midlands. Figures for Bilston cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Bilston?

The median asking price across the 208 homes for sale in Bilston is £230,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £190,000 and £289,963. That is 12% below West Midlands. Homes that actually sold in Bilston went for a median £205,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Bilston rising or falling?

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Bilston is up 95% over the last 10 years and up 6% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Bilston cheaper than West Midlands?

Yes: asking prices in Bilston are typically lower than across West Midlands. The median asking price in Bilston is £230,000 against £260k across West Midlands: 12% below West Midlands. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to West Midlands's.

How many homes are for sale in Bilston?

208 homes are on the market in Bilston right now, down 4% since 31 Aug, 39 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

Are house prices being cut in Bilston?

18 listings in Bilston had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 9% of the homes currently for sale.

How long are homes on the market in Bilston?

Of the Bilston listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 81 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in Bilston?

The median asking price for a flat in Bilston is £100,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £227,475 across 82 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Bilston?

The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Bilston is £112,500, across 14 current listings.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Bilston?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Bilston is semi-detached houses, at a median asking price of £230,000 across 57 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Bilston?

In Bilston, homes that sold went for a median £232 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £251 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (208 in Bilston), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Bilston cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Bilston since February 2026.
  • West Midlands comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of West Midlands, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
